Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4614 N Harding Ave in Albany Park, owned by Jose Otero, has a century-old history dating back to 1910, with the most recent documented activities occurring between 2024 and 2025. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with two notable incidents in late 2025 involving water in the basement and a leak check, suggesting potential ongoing moisture or drainage problems that could affect resident comfort and building integrity. The building's maintenance record shows five service requests between 2024 and 2025 specifically related to tree trimming, indicating attention to exterior maintenance needs, though it's worth noting that these specific request categories are no longer being accepted. Additionally, there were two garbage cart maintenance requests in August 2024, one of which was submitted through the Alderman's office, suggesting either a municipal service issue or debris management concern. Overall, while the building has maintained basic compliance with city service requests, the pattern of water-related issues in late 2025 stands out as the most significant recurring concern in recent history.

Risk rating

How 4614 N Harding Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
