Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2943 W Pershing Rd in Brighton Park, owned by Yi Zhong Lam, has maintained a relatively low level of service requests and maintenance activity over the past seven years. This 1916 structure has generated only four 311 service requests since 2017, all of which have been resolved. Notably, there appears to be an unusual cluster of animal-related incidents in early 2025, with two separate dead animal pick-up requests recorded on March 17, followed by an abandoned vehicle complaint in October of the same year, and a stray animal complaint in January 2026. The only building permit on record during this period should be considered alongside these service requests for a comprehensive understanding of the building's maintenance history, though the specific nature of the permit is not detailed in the provided data. While the building's service request history shows relatively few incidents overall, the concentration of animal-related issues in early 2025 stands out as the most significant cluster of service requests on record for this property.

Risk rating

How 2943 W 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
57thpercentile
