Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 7942 S Bishop St in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood, owned by Joyce J Thompson, is a 1916 structure that has experienced several notable service requests in recent years. Most significantly, the property has faced multiple water-related issues in April 2026, with four street water complaints recorded in quick succession between April 9 and April 16, all of which remain open as of the current date. Additionally, there is an ongoing tree emergency reported in June 2026. The building has experienced one environmental complaint related to noise in August 2025, though city inspectors found no violations in their investigation. Prior to these recent incidents, in August 2025, there was a closed service request for garbage cart maintenance, and an April 2026 tree trimming request was submitted, though this type of request is no longer being accepted by the city. These records, particularly the recent concentration of water-related issues, suggest current infrastructural challenges that may impact resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 7942 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.
