8059 S Bishop Chicago

Auburn Gresham, Chicago IL 60620 20321110170000 12 units · 1923

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 8059 S Bishop in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood, owned by Kenneth & Y Robinson, has a relatively sparse but concerning record over the past seven years. Two building code violations were documented in August 2019 through complaint-driven inspections, though notably, these remain open and unresolved as of the current date, which is particularly concerning given their nearly five-year duration. The property has generated nine 311 service requests since 2017, with the most recent activity occurring between April and June 2024, including two separate complaints about low water pressure and reports regarding plumbing violations. Additionally, there were requests related to recycling cart maintenance and garbage cart issues in June 2024, all of which have been marked as closed. While there was one stray animal complaint in March 2025, this request falls outside the seven-year window used for most of the data analysis, though it is worth noting that this service has already been closed. The pattern of service requests suggests some recurring issues with building systems, particularly water-related infrastructure, though it's important to note that not all service requests indicate violations or serious problems.

Risk rating

How 8059 S Bishop 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
