Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2855 S Harding Ave 2 in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, owned by Cesar F Almaguer, has experienced a concerning pattern of sanitation and building code issues over the past several years. The property, constructed in 1914, currently has four unresolved building code violations stemming from complaint-driven inspections conducted on November 29, 2022. More recently, between June 2026 and March 2025, there has been a notable increase in sanitation-related problems, with four open sanitation code violation cases as of June 2026, along with one building violation and one closed sanitation violation case from March 2025. The building's history over the past seven years shows a total of 26 service requests, primarily focused on sanitation issues, though only four building code violations are on record. The concentration of recent violations and service requests, particularly in 2022 and 2026, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and sanitation compliance, though it's worth noting that the two-unit structure has only one property parcel assigned to the current owner.

Risk rating

How 2855 S 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

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.
