Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 829 N Bishop St in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, owned by Antonio Herrera, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1894. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues in 2026, with three separate complaints about water on the street and two leak investigations occurring in February of that year, followed by similar incidents later in April. These water-related concerns represent the most significant recent challenges for the building and its surroundings. In addition to the water issues, there was one pothole complaint in April 2026. Across the past seven years, the building has generated a total of six service requests, while the owner has had 21 service requests across two parcels. The concentration of water-related issues in early 2026, particularly with multiple complaints occurring on the same day, suggests there may be ongoing infrastructure or maintenance challenges that merit attention.

Risk rating

How 829 N Bishop St'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.
