Initial analysis

The five-unit building at 3701 S Halsted St in Bridgeport, owned by PORT 3701 LLC, presents a mixed record of compliance and service requests spanning several decades. Built in 1891, this property has been subject to various regulatory actions, with the most concerning being four unresolved violations from a 2021 periodic routine inspection and two complaint-driven inspection violations from June 2024, though these latter violations have been resolved. The building has registered 14 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent activity including graffiti removal and traffic signal complaints in 2026, and an open shared cost sidewalk program request from January 2026. A significant cluster of environmental issues occurred in late 1999, when the property faced multiple administrative hearings and fines totaling $3,400 for various code violations related to air pollution and noise, with four documented complaints of air pollution and one noise complaint during that period. While there is limited recent environmental complaint data, historical records show sporadic air pollution issues reported in 2000 and 2003. The property has only had one building permit issued in the past seven years, which may indicate limited recent construction or modification activity.

Risk rating

How 3701 S Halsted 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

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.
