Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2999 S Lyman St in Bridgeport, owned by James Brandenburg Jr., was constructed in 1906 and has experienced several incidents over the past seven years that warrant attention. Most notably, in June 2022, the property underwent a series of complaint-driven inspections that resulted in six recorded building code violations, though all of these were subsequently resolved. While there has been only one building permit filed in the past seven years, the property has generated nine 311 service requests during this period. These requests have ranged from routine maintenance matters such as garbage cart maintenance and recycling cart needs in October 2025, to more concerning issues like a coyote interaction complaint in October 2025 and an abandoned vehicle complaint in December 2024. Additionally, there was a graffiti removal request in January 2026, and a tree trim request in July 2024, though it's noted that this service is no longer being accepted. While the building has had its share of maintenance and service issues, it's worth noting that the majority of building code violations and service requests have been resolved in a timely manner.

Risk rating

How 2999 S Lyman 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
2ndpercentile
