AI summary

The three-story, 9-unit residential building at 2900 S Poplar in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood was constructed in 1889 and is currently owned by Jennifer Linh. The property has experienced significant incidents over its history, with the most pressing recent concerns being multiple street light outages in January 2026 and two separate animal-related incidents (a coyote interaction and a stray animal complaint) in early 2026. The building's 311 service request history over the past seven years shows 33 requests directly related to the building, with an additional 57 requests connected to other properties owned by Linh, spanning various issues including an unresolved alley pothole complaint from April 2026. The building's environmental history includes two air pollution complaints in 2006, which led to three administrative hearings on September 28, 2006, for violations of city codes 7-28-080, 11-4-630, and 13-32-125 (2E), though none resulted in fines. While the street light outages and animal-related incidents suggest some ongoing infrastructure and safety concerns in the immediate vicinity, these issues appear to be primarily related to public infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2900 S Poplar Chicago'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
10thpercentile

Out of 3117 buildings in this neighborhood, 2805 are predicted to be safer.
