Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1042 W 31st Place in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood, owned by Stanley and Karen Staszak, has maintained a relatively low record of building violations and service requests over the past seven years, though several concerning patterns have emerged. The 145-year-old property, constructed in 1878, currently has two open building code violations dating from February 2022 related to a complaint-driven inspection that remains unresolved as of the latest available data. The building's municipal service history shows four 311 service requests in recent years, including two instances of garbage cart maintenance (July 2025), one report of sanitation code violation (February 2026), and an abandoned vehicle complaint (July 2025), all of which have been resolved. While the total number of violations and service requests is relatively small, the presence of unresolved building code violations from 2022 warrants attention, especially considering they are the only building violations recorded against the property in the past seven years. The owners have also secured two building permits during this period, though the specific nature and impact of these permits on the property are not detailed in the records.

Risk rating

How 1042 W 31St Pl'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
15thpercentile
