Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 2915 S Bonfield St in Bridgeport, owned by Norene Wisniewski, is a historic property dating back to 1878. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced significant compliance issues, with a total of 16 building code violations documented, the majority of which originated from a cluster of complaint-driven inspections on August 23, 2021, all of which remain unresolved as of October 2023. These persistent open violations represent the most notable and concerning aspect of the building's recent history, potentially impacting resident safety and quality of life. While the building's record shows only one 311 service request during this seven-year period - a tree planting request made in April 2024 which has since been closed - this relatively minor exterior maintenance request stands in stark contrast to the serious unresolved building code violations documented from 2021, suggesting that most service requests have not required or resulted in formal documentation through the 311 system.

Risk rating

How 2915 S Bonfield 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
