Initial analysis

The 179-unit residential building at 5105 S Harper in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, owned by 1525 HP LLC and constructed in 2014, has encountered multiple regulatory and maintenance issues over its seven-year history. The building currently has six open unresolved building code violations from 2025, 2024, and multiple instances in 2023 and 2022, primarily stemming from periodic routine inspections and one permit-related inspection in 2021. While no specific details of these violations are provided, their unresolved status suggests ongoing compliance challenges. The property has generated a moderate number of 311 service requests, with a total of 55 recorded over seven years, though most recent activity (from 2026) appears to consist of routine maintenance and public service requests including three graffiti removal requests, a dead bird, and an injured animal report, all of which have been closed out. The building's record shows a pattern of periodic inspections and maintenance issues, with particular attention needed to the unresolved building code violations.

Risk rating

How 5105 S Harper 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
