Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3007 S Normal Ave in Bridgeport, owned by Bai Bing Mendez, has been standing since 1888 and is situated on two parcels of land. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of 11 service requests associated with the property, with the most recent activity occurring in August-September 2025. The recent service requests have primarily focused on waste management and property maintenance, including three requests for blue recycling carts (two successfully resolved and one still open) and two graffiti removal requests (one successfully resolved and one currently open). While the building's age is notable, the limited service requests over the past several years could indicate either effective property management or potentially underreported issues, though no significant safety concerns are evident from the available data.

Risk rating

How 3007 S Normal 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.
