Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3412 W Pershing Rd in Brighton Park, owned by Xueyan Zhen, has experienced several concerning patterns in recent years. The 1888 structure currently has five active building code violations as of 2024, with three violations dating from February 2024 and two from November 2023, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections that remain unresolved. The building's recent history shows a troubling concentration of violations and service requests under the current ownership, with a total of 14 building violations and 30 service requests recorded over the past seven years through the owner's name. While the majority of the 311 service requests (six in total) relate to abandoned vehicle complaints, which were all resolved, there is one documented case of a garbage cart maintenance issue and one report regarding an uncleared sidewalk due to snow from 2025 - both of which were addressed. The building's permit activity indicates minimal improvements or modifications, with only two permits issued in the past seven years, suggesting limited maintenance or upgrades to the aging structure.

Risk rating

How 3412 W Pershing Rd'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.
