Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3744 S Parnell Ave in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood, owned by Qiao Chen, was constructed in 1893 and has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years. Most recently, in 2026, there were multiple service requests related to infrastructure problems, including low water pressure (May 2026) and a sewer cave-in inspection (January 2026), along with three building violations between May and September 2025. The building has undergone three complaint-driven inspections between 2025 and 2026, all of which were resolved, and an environmental complaint regarding air pollution was recorded and resolved in March 2026. Historical records show relatively low permit activity, with only two permits issued in the past seven years. While the building has had some compliance issues, it's worth noting that all documented violations have been resolved through proper channels. The pattern of service requests and violations suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly in 2025-2026, though the prompt resolution of these issues indicates responsive management.

Risk rating

How 3744 S Parnell 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.

Neighborhood percentile
