Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2438 W Pershing Rd in Brighton Park, owned by Maria V Hernandez, is a well-maintained property dating back to 1898. The building's recent service history is notably minimal, with only one 311 service request logged in the past seven years, which was a tree trim request submitted in January 2025 (though such requests are no longer being accepted), and this issue was subsequently closed. The owner, Maria V Hernandez, has had a total of four 311 service requests associated with her name over the past seven years, though only one relates directly to the property in question. The overall service request record suggests a relatively stable property condition, with very few maintenance or service issues reported through official channels.

Risk rating

How 2438 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.
