Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 447 W 31st Street in Bridgeport, owned by Henry J. Palmisano and constructed in 1909, has experienced several concerning issues in recent months. Most notably, there has been a series of water-related problems, with four water-in-basement complaints logged between March and April 2026, though all have been closed without record of resolution details. Earlier this year, there was also a rodent-related complaint in February 2026, adding to the building's maintenance challenges. The property has a documented history of environmental concerns, including two air pollution work orders (in 2008 and 2025) and a noise complaint in 2014, though investigations into these complaints found no violations. The building has generated a total of 33 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the majority of recent issues focusing on water management and pest control. While the building has been relatively stable in terms of complaints prior to 2025, the recent cluster of water-related issues and pest concerns may indicate emerging maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 447 W 31St St'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
10thpercentile

Out of 3132 buildings in this neighborhood, 2819 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
