Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2829 S Farrell St in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood is a historic structure dating back to 1878, currently owned by J. Malicki. The property's recent records from the past seven years show a total of eight service requests through the city's 311 system, all of which have been resolved. The most recent issues in 2025 have involved infrastructure concerns, including a tree removal inspection and a street light pole damage complaint, suggesting attention to public safety and maintenance requirements in the vicinity of the property. Earlier in 2024, there were two reports of abandoned vehicles near the property, along with requests for tree trimming and garbage cart maintenance. While the building's service record shows regular municipal interactions, all reported issues have been appropriately addressed by the responsible departments, indicating responsive city services in the area. The age of the building and relatively low number of service requests over seven years suggests minimal structural or operational concerns from a basic habitation standpoint.

Risk rating

How 2829 S Farrell 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.
