Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1856 W Pershing Rd in the McKinley Park neighborhood is a historic structure dating back to 1893, currently owned by Simona Trifan. The property's documented history over the past seven years reveals minimal maintenance and service activity, with only one building permit filed during this period. The limited service request record is notable, consisting of three reported issues: two street pothole complaints in April 2026 and one rodent-related complaint in January 2025, all of which have been closed according to city records. While the building's documented history shows relatively few service requests, it's worth noting that the service requests primarily concerned external infrastructure issues (the potholes) rather than building-specific problems, with only one complaint related to pest control. The low number of recorded issues over this period might suggest either stable building conditions or limited reporting activity, though no definitive conclusion can be drawn from this data alone.

Risk rating

How 1856 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Location

Precise location is a proxy for area-level risk — some Chicago zip codes have systematically higher code-enforcement activity.

Property class (211)

Assessor class 211 — small residential (roughly 2–6 units). The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.
