Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 70 E. Pershing Rd in Douglas, owned by Bronzeville Dev Group, was constructed in 2023 and has maintained an active record over its short history. As of December 2024, the property currently has three unresolved building code violations related to periodic routine inspections. Interestingly, these inspection-related violations were all cited on the same date, suggesting a potentially systematic issue requiring attention. While the building has had a total of three building violations over the past seven years, this pattern of recent inspection violations is particularly noteworthy. On a more positive note, the building has secured six building permits during this period, indicating proactive management and compliance with necessary regulations. Additionally, there was one resolved environmental complaint regarding air pollution from 2019, which was addressed on August 5 of that year. This relatively new property, despite its recent inspection violations, shows a history of permit acquisition and previous issue resolution, though the current open violations warrant attention as they potentially impact resident experience and safety.

Risk rating

How 70 E. Pershing Rd'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
16thpercentile
