Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 2923 W 57th Street in Chicago's Gage Park neighborhood, owned by Bernice L Ransley, has been facing multiple challenges in recent years. The nearly 100-year-old structure has experienced significant unresolved issues since July 2022, with five complaint-driven inspection violations remaining open and on record. More recently, in 2026, there has been a pattern of service requests indicating ongoing maintenance and safety concerns, including two open building violations as of April 2026, a plumbing violation resolved in April 2026, and a rodent-related complaint addressed through baiting. Additionally, there are two open service requests from April 2026 regarding tree removal and an abandoned vehicle. The building's recent history shows a concerning trend of unresolved violations and maintenance issues that appear to be accumulating rather than being systematically addressed.

Risk rating

How 2923 W 57Th Chicago'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
