Logan Square, Chicago IL 60647 13263240130000 2 units · 1913

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 2421 N Harding Ave 2nd in Logan Square, constructed in 1913 and currently owned by Antonia Valencia, has experienced several notable incidents over its compliance history. Most recently, in 2024, there were multiple service requests related to waste management, with three separate maintenance issues concerning garbage carts and blue recycling carts occurring between July and October. Two building violation complaints were filed in October 2024 and July 2024, though details of these violations were not specified in the records. Looking further back, the property has a troubling history of administrative violations dating to November 2006, with five documented code violations across two specific municipal code sections (11-4-630 and 7-28-080), each carrying a $600 fine, suggesting serious past compliance issues that may have impacted habitability at that time. While there have been no documented environmental violations or administrative hearings in the past 17 years, and the current owner has submitted only three building permit requests in the last seven years, the property's recent waste management issues in 2024 indicate ongoing operational challenges, particularly regarding refuse handling and compliance with city service requirements.

Risk rating

How 2421 N Harding Ave 2Nd'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.
