Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2905 W Pershing Rd in Brighton Park, owned by Refugio Gallego, has a documented history dating back to its 1925 construction. In recent years, the property has experienced several infrastructure-related issues within its immediate vicinity, as evidenced by multiple service requests. Most notably, there was a building permit and construction violation reported in September 2025, though the status of this violation was marked as closed. The building's surroundings have faced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly concerning road conditions, with three separate complaints about potholes (two in the alley and one in the street) recorded between March and April 2025. Other service requests have included street light maintenance (April 2026), garbage cart maintenance (August 2025), and another alley-related issue (July 2025), all of which have been closed. While these service requests indicate various maintenance issues in the building's vicinity, it's important to note that the total number of documented complaints remains relatively low for a two-unit building over the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 2905 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.
