Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2858 S Emerald Ave in Bridgeport is a 130-year-old property owned by Antonino Bongiovanni, with a notable record of recent incidents and service requests over the past seven years. Most significantly, in October 2025, the property faced two environmental enforcement actions related to construction site cleanliness, resulting in a combined total of $1,700 in fines. More recently, in June 2026, there was a noise complaint that was promptly resolved the same day. The building has generated a total of 29 service requests to the 311 system, with the most recent including an open tree emergency request from June 2026, and several infrastructure-related issues such as traffic signal problems and a pothole complaint, all of which have been closed. The property has had minimal environmental enforcement actions, with only one environmental complaint recorded in the past seven years. While the building's age and service request history show typical urban maintenance issues, the most pressing concerns appear to be related to construction site management and recent noise disturbances.

Risk rating

How 2858 S Emerald Ave 1'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.
