Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 9559 S Bishop St in Chicago's Washington Heights neighborhood is a 131-year-old structure currently owned by Richard Marvin. The property's documented service history over the past seven years shows a relatively low volume of municipal engagement, with a total of seven 311 service requests. The most recent activity has centered around garbage cart maintenance, with three such requests logged between January and October 2025, suggesting ongoing concerns with waste management infrastructure. Additionally, there was a tree emergency reported in June 2025. The property has also required yard waste pick-up services and an administrative review of parking code enforcement in early 2025. Going back further in time, the building experienced one environmental incident in March 2011 involving illegal dumping, though this appears to be an isolated occurrence compared to more recent municipal interactions. The 311 service request pattern suggests some attention to maintenance issues, particularly regarding waste management systems, while the tree emergency indicates occasional infrastructure concerns.

Risk rating

How 9559 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.
