Initial analysis

The property at 4849 S Bishop St is a historic two-unit building located in Chicago's New City neighborhood, constructed in 1888 and currently owned by Maria C. Hernandez. The building's documented history shows minimal agency interaction over the past seven years, with only three 311 service requests directly related to the property and a total of seven requests associated with the owner's name across three parcels. The most recent activity, recorded in July 2025, involves two open tree planting requests, though these appear to be street or public space-related rather than building-specific issues. Prior to these, there was one nuisance animal complaint filed in April 2025 that has since been closed. The limited number of service requests over this extended period, with no documented emergency or safety-related incidents, suggests relatively stable conditions at this address, though the dates of the most recent requests should be noted as they fall beyond the standard seven-year review period.

Risk rating

How 4849 S Bishop 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.
