Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story building at 3127 S Emerald Ave in Bridgeport, constructed in 1910 and owned by Mei Hua Liu & G J Liu, has a limited but notable record of service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The property's most recent service requests include two blue recycling cart inquiries in June 2026 (still open) and February 2026 (resolved), as well as a leak check request and general information call in February 2026, both of which were closed. Prior to these recent issues, the building experienced a rodent-related incident in October 2024, which was addressed and closed by the Streets and Sanitation department. While the overall number of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit building, the concentration of recent activity in early 2026, particularly involving both recycling and potential maintenance matters, suggests heightened management engagement during this period.

Risk rating

How 3127 S Emerald Ave'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.
