Initial analysis

The 63-unit residential building at 5345 S Harper in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, owned by Pioneer 5345 Harper, has a notable history dating back to its 1908 construction. The property has experienced a concerning pattern of building code violations over the past seven years, with a total of 24 violations recorded, including six unresolved complaint-driven inspections from September 2023 and one more recent violation from January 2025 that was resolved. These ongoing violations, particularly the cluster from September 2023, suggest persistent maintenance or compliance issues that warrant attention. In addition to building code concerns, the property has generated two 311 service requests in recent years: a potentially serious water-related issue on the street from March 2026 that remains open, and a tree emergency from May 2025 that was resolved. The combination of numerous building violations and open service requests indicates potential challenges related to building maintenance and resident safety, though it's important to note that not all violations may directly impact resident experience.

Risk rating

How 5345 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
