Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 725 W 26th Street in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood, owned by Jiali Liu, is a 135-year-old property constructed in 1888. The building's documented history shows relatively few building modifications or major issues over the past seven years, with only one building permit filed during this period. The property's 311 service request record for the past seven years reveals 25 reported incidents, though the majority of these (seven requests) were clustered together in February 2026 as tree trim requests, which are no longer being accepted. Two abandoned vehicle complaints were made in May and March 2026, both of which were closed. While there are two historical environmental complaints on record from 1999 and 2000 related to service stations/storage tanks and unspecified "Other" issues, given their age and the lack of recent similar complaints, they likely represent minimal ongoing concern. The relatively low number of service requests and permits during the past seven years, particularly for a property of this age, suggests limited recent activity or issues requiring official attention, though the concentration of service requests in early 2026 indicates there may have been some specific concerns addressed during that period.

Risk rating

How 725 W 26Th 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
53rdpercentile
