Brighton Park, Chicago IL 60632 16364260400000 5 units · 1890

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 five-unit building at 2500 W Pershing Rd in Brighton Park, owned by Security First Financial, is a 133-year-old property with a documented history of various incidents and maintenance requests. The building has experienced minimal documented issues in recent years, with only one building permit filed in the last seven years and a relatively low number of building violations (8) during that same period. The property has generated a total of 86 service requests through the 311 system, though the nature of these requests has primarily centered around external issues such as street maintenance, lighting, and signage, rather than building-specific problems. Recent 311 service requests (from 2025 to mid-2026) include street cleaning, graffiti removal, and street light complaints, all of which have been resolved. The only documented environmental complaint dates back to 2008 and involved noise, with no subsequent similar complaints on record. While the building's age and historical context suggest it may require ongoing maintenance, the recent record indicates a relatively stable situation with no significant safety concerns or persistent building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 2500 W Pershing Rd'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
6thpercentile
