Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 930 W 36th Street in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood, constructed in 1878 and currently owned by Sam Finlay, has experienced several notable issues in recent years that warrant attention. The property has generated three building code violations over the past seven years, with the most recent set occurring on July 16, 2025, though these were promptly resolved. The building has also experienced multiple infrastructure and safety concerns, as evidenced by eight 311 service requests in the same period. Most significantly, there were two rodent-related incidents reported in November 2024 that were closed, suggesting potential ongoing pest management challenges. Additional maintenance matters were documented in 2025, including plumbing violations (closed July 2025), porch inspection requests (closed June 2025), and another building violation (closed June 2025). A sidewalk inspection request remains open as of February 2026. While many previous issues have been resolved, the combination of building violations, pest control incidents, and ongoing inspection requests suggest that maintenance and habitability concerns have been a recurring theme at this property.

Risk rating

How 930 W 36Th St'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.
