Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1521 N Luna Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, constructed in 1918 and currently owned by Zulfiqar Hyder, has experienced a notable cluster of maintenance and sanitation issues over the past seven years. The most recent set of incidents, occurring primarily in September 2025, centers around waste management concerns, including requests for garbage cart maintenance and blue recycling cart services. Earlier in 2025, the property faced challenges with rodent control, as evidenced by a rodent baiting complaint, followed shortly by a sanitation code violation. Additional sanitation-related incidents this year included a dead animal removal request. The building's documented service history shows relatively few building permits, with only one application on record over the seven-year period, suggesting limited recent structural or major system modifications. The property is subject to regular municipal oversight, as indicated by the multiple 311 service requests, though all have been marked as closed, suggesting resolution through city intervention.

Risk rating

How 1521 N Luna 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.
