Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 905 S Bishop Street, located in Chicago's Little Italy/UIC neighborhood, is a historic property constructed in 1873 and currently owned by Tim Jacobs. The building has experienced several significant incidents over the past year, with four complaint-driven inspections conducted in August 2024, all of which were resolved. More recently, in October 2024, there was a recorded rodent baiting complaint that has since been closed, and in August 2024, there was a plumbing violation reported to the buildings department that was also closed. The property's record shows a total of four building violations and two 311 service requests in the past seven years, though the most impactful recent events have been the rodent issue and plumbing violation from 2024. While all building violations from August 2024 were promptly complied with, the timing and nature of these service requests suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that have required city intervention to resolve.

Risk rating

How 905 S Bishop St 1'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.
