Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 818 W 37th Street in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood, owned by Brian Chin, was constructed in 1978 and has generated a total of 10 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years. The most significant recent activity relates to a series of tree emergencies that occurred in June 2026, with four related requests filed between June 10-15, two of which remain open while two have been closed. Earlier in 2026, on March 6, the property experienced sewer-related issues that required inspection and cleaning services, though these requests were successfully closed. While the building's documented service history shows periodic maintenance needs, particularly regarding trees and sewer systems, there have been no recorded service requests directly related to building safety or resident-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 818 W 37Th 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.
