Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 19 N Bishop St in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood, constructed in 2008 and currently owned by 17-35 N. Bishop LLC., has experienced several notable incidents over its history. Most concerning are the recent developments in July 2025, when three complaint-driven inspections resulted in unresolved building code violations, marking the only known building code violations in the past seven years. The property has generated a total of 14 service requests between the owner and building records, with the most recent being a building violation report in April 2025, though this particular request has since been closed. Earlier in its history, the building faced multiple administrative violations in April 2008, leading to four separate fines of $3,500 each for various code violations, including air pollution-related issues and other ordinance infractions, though all of these were marked with the disposition "L". Despite these initial setbacks, there have been no recorded building code violations or significant service requests for the past 15 years, aside from the recent 2025 violations, suggesting that while maintenance issues do periodically arise, they are typically addressed through the city's service request system. The property's history shows a mix of environmental and building code challenges, but the frequency and severity of violations appear to have decreased significantly in recent years, with most recent issues being relatively minor and routine in nature.

Risk rating

How 19 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

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
