Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 434 W 31st St 2R in Bridgeport, owned by Jean Fresso, has been standing since 1891 and has a relatively straightforward record over the past seven years. The property has experienced one building code violation during this period, dating from November 10, 2025, which remains open and unresolved. The building has generated a total of 21 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent activity indicating ongoing concerns related to traffic signals in the vicinity. Between May and June 2026 alone, there were four traffic signal out complaints (three of which have been closed, while one remains open), suggesting a persistent issue with roadway safety near the property. Additionally, there have been miscellaneous service requests including a graffiti removal request in May 2026 and a tree trimming request in January 2026 (though this service is no longer being accepted), both of which were successfully resolved. While the building's overall violation and service request record is not particularly extensive, the current open building code violation and recurring traffic signal issues in the immediate area warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 434 W 31St St 2R'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
10thpercentile

Out of 3132 buildings in this neighborhood, 2819 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
