Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 828 S Bishop Street in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood is a historic property dating back to 1869 and is currently owned by Charles Kerwin. The building's recent service history over the past seven years indicates minimal issues directly affecting the property itself, with only four 311 service requests recorded during this period, all of which were resolved and closed. These requests, which were all logged in 2025, pertained to external municipal services rather than building-specific concerns, including a street light outage, street cleaning, tree debris removal, and a pothole complaint in the street. The relatively low number of service requests and their focus on public infrastructure rather than the building's condition or safety features may suggest stable property maintenance, though it's important to note that the building's age and location in an urban environment could potentially present unique challenges not fully captured by this limited service record.

Risk rating

How 828 S 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
96thpercentile
