Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 463 W 28th Street in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood, owned by Chen & Mei, has been standing since 1881. The property has two unresolved building code violations recorded in January 2020, specifically from complaint-driven inspections, which remain open as of the latest data. Over the past seven years, there have been seven 311 service requests associated with the property. These include three rodent baiting/rat complaints between April and October 2025, a garbage cart maintenance request in January 2025, and two unrelated requests in 2026 for a pothole in the street and tree trimming (the latter no longer being accepted). While the building's age is significant, the more pressing concern appears to be the pattern of rodent-related issues documented in 2025, though it's worth noting that all these service requests have been marked as closed.

Risk rating

How 463 W 28Th 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
9thpercentile
