Initial analysis

The property at 6716 S Bishop St in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood is a two-unit building constructed in 1882, currently owned by Looking Glass Opportun. The building's recent history has been marked by several concerning patterns, particularly in the past seven years. Most significantly, there have been 10 scofflaw violations recorded against the owner, along with 11 building violations during the same period. While the total number of 311 service requests recorded under the owner's name is notably high at 75, only one building permit has been obtained, and there has been one environmental complaint filed. The most recent incidents involved two fly dumping complaints, both recorded and closed in September 2024, though these appear to be related to street or alley conditions rather than direct building issues. While the building has a substantial service request history, the relatively low number of building permits and recent environmental complaint suggests potential maintenance and oversight concerns warranting attention.

Risk rating

How 6716 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

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.
