Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 942 W 29th Street in Bridgeport, owned by Feiqun Zhang, is a historic structure dating back to 1878. The building's recent history shows persistent unresolved issues, with eight open violations recorded since 2020 that were initiated through complaint-driven inspections, including a particularly recent violation from October 2024. The property has accumulated a total of nine building code violations over the past seven years. While the building's code violations are of primary concern, it's also worth noting the building's vicinity has experienced significant maintenance issues, with 40 service requests made through the 311 system in the same period, most of which (seven instances) were related to graffiti removal in 2025 alone, all of which have been closed. Other miscellaneous neighborhood issues have included a pothole complaint and a Divvy bike parking issue, both of which were also resolved. The concentration of unresolved building code violations, particularly those that have persisted for multiple years, represents the most significant concern in the building's recent history, while the 311 service requests indicate ongoing maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 942 W 29Th 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
3rdpercentile
