Bridgeport, Chicago IL 60616 17283270230000 3 units · 1898

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 three-unit residential building at 3018 S Union Ave in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood is a 125-year-old structure currently under the Chicago Title Land Trust ownership, which is part of a larger portfolio of 266 parcels. The building's recent history shows activity primarily centered around water safety concerns, with two open requests for water lead test kits as of June 2026. The property has experienced recurring pest management issues, evidenced by two rodent complaints in mid-2024, both of which were resolved. The recorded maintenance and service history is relatively minimal over the past three years, with only 7 service requests and 1 building permit in the past seven years for this specific address, despite the owner having multiple open violations and service requests across their entire property portfolio. A pothole complaint from March 2026 and a tree trimming request from February 2026, both of which are now resolved, mark the only other recorded service requests in recent years. The significant discrepancy between the building's own service request and violation counts and the much higher totals in the owner's aggregated data may indicate these numbers are primarily reflecting activity across the owner's entire portfolio rather than this specific building.

Risk rating

How 3018 S Union 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.
