Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3040 S Throop St, located in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood, is an 1888 structure currently owned by Jacob Reid Weatherred. The property has experienced a significant cluster of unresolved building code violations, with six separate complaint-driven inspections recorded on April 16, 2025, all of which remain open as of now. This marks one of the most concerning patterns in the building's recent history, given the accumulated nature of these violations. Over the past seven years, the building has accumulated a total of 21 building violations, maintaining consistent patterns of non-compliance that should be noted by potential residents. While there was one 311 service request made in December 2024 regarding tree trimming (a request type that has since been discontinued), there have been no other recorded service requests in the past seven years. The building's permitted work history shows only two permits have been pulled in this time frame, though the nature of this work is not specified in the provided data. The most significant immediate concern for potential residents would be the cluster of open code violations from April 2025, which represent the most recent documented issues with the property.

Risk rating

How 3040 S Throop St 1'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
