Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 3116 N Harding Ave 2 in the Avondale neighborhood, owned by Pablin Martinez, was constructed in 1913 and has been subject to several notable events over the past seven years. The building experienced multiple complaint-driven inspections in February 2021, with two violations remaining open and one resolved related to this inspection period. An air pollution complaint from early 2021 was referred to the Building Department and subsequently resolved the same month. The property's recent history shows a pattern of service requests primarily related to exterior maintenance, including two tree trim requests in early 2025 and late 2024 (though these requests are no longer being accepted), a garbage cart maintenance request, a fly dumping complaint, and a shared cost sidewalk program request, all of which were successfully closed. While the building has had some code violations, particularly in early 2021, it's worth noting that the majority of recent service requests have been resolved, focusing primarily on public space and maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 3116 N Harding Ave 2'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

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

Grade C — Moderate risk

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

Grade D–F — High risk

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