Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2909 W Harrison St in Garfield Park, owned by Annie Tolbert, has been standing since 1903. The property's record over the past seven years shows some areas of concern, particularly with unresolved building code violations. On March 24, 2021, two complaints led to inspections that resulted in open violations, and notably, these violations remain unresolved to this day. The building's maintenance and service history includes five 311 service requests over the same period, with the most recent occurring in late 2025. These requests primarily involved external issues such as street light concerns and tree debris clean-up, which were all successfully closed. There has been one building permit issued in the past seven years, though the specific nature of the permitted work is not detailed in the available records. While the street-related and exterior service issues have been addressed promptly, the outstanding building code violations from 2021 represent the most significant open issue on the property's record.

Risk rating

How 2909 W Harrison St'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
26thpercentile
