Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2940 W Pershing Rd in Brighton Park, currently owned by Rafael Grajeda, has been standing since 1923 and has experienced several significant events over the past decade. Most notably, in July 2022, three complaint-driven building code violations were recorded, all of which remain unresolved as of the current date. While these violations are the most serious recent concerns, there have also been multiple service requests logged through the 311 system between 2024 and 2026. These requests encompassed various issues including three separate abandoned vehicle complaints, multiple cart maintenance inquiries (for both garbage and recycling), and a street light outage, all of which were successfully resolved. Additionally, there was an environmental asbestos complaint in 2016 which was investigated and found to be unfounded. The building's record shows limited ownership violations, with only three building violations and seven service requests attributed to the property owner over the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 2940 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.

Neighborhood percentile
