Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 137 N Mayfield in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Leonard W Harbin, has experienced several noteworthy events in recent years according to its building record. The property, constructed in 1911, has had a limited number of service requests and permits on file, with just five 311 service requests and one building permit recorded over the past seven years. The most recent service requests have been primarily related to animal welfare, including a current open request for a pet wellness check from June 2026 and a previously closed report of an injured animal from May 2026. Two sanitation code violations were recorded in 2025 (one in August and another in February), suggesting some concerns about cleanliness or waste management in or around the building. Additionally, a water-related issue was noted in April 2025 with a leak check request to the Department of Water Management, which has since been resolved. While the number of service requests is relatively low compared to many properties, it's worth noting that the majority of recorded issues have been environmental or sanitation-related in nature.

Risk rating

How 137 N Mayfield Chicago'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.

Neighborhood percentile
