Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 7428 S Harvard Ave 1, located in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, is a property built in 1898 and currently owned by Debra L. Davis. The building's official records from the past seven years show minimal activity, with only three documented 311 service requests and a single building permit on file. The most recent service request, made in June 2026, related to a stray animal complaint, while two tree removal inspection requests were filed in August 2024 and July 2025, all of which have been closed. The limited number of service requests and permits on record suggests relatively low recent activity or issues affecting the property, though it's important to note that these records represent only the documented municipal interactions and may not capture the full range of building conditions or maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 7428 S Harvard Ave 1'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
