Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3031 S Emerald Avenue in Bridgeport, owned by Marino/Perisin, has been standing since 1894 and has had 14 documented service requests made through the 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent and current concern involves an open request for a water lead test kit from August 2025, which warrants attention given the potential health implications associated with lead exposure. The property has also experienced multiple tree-related issues in the latter half of 2025, including three tree trim requests in December 2025 and a tree emergency in July 2025, though these specific service requests are no longer being accepted by the city. Additionally, a pothole complaint in the street near the property was logged and subsequently closed in April 2026, representing the most recent service interaction related to the property. While the building has relatively few documented complaints considering its age and number of units, the open water lead test kit request stands out as the most pressing current concern.

Risk rating

How 3031 S Emerald Ave'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
37thpercentile

Out of 3132 buildings in this neighborhood, 1973 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
