Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2132 South Harding Avenue in North Lawndale, owned by Lorell Scott, has a documented history spanning several years since its construction in 1916. The building's record shows minimal documented issues over the past seven years, with only one building code violation and one 311 service request on file. The sole building code violation, recorded on January 30, 2020, was the result of a complaint-driven inspection and remains unresolved as of the latest data update. A more recent 311 service interaction, logged on April 1, 2025, was classified as an "Information Only Call" and has since been closed, though no specific issues or concerns were reported through this channel. The overall record suggests relatively few documented problems, though attention should be paid to the outstanding building code violation from 2020.

Risk rating

How 2132 S 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.

Neighborhood percentile
33rdpercentile
