Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2143 S Archer Ave in Chicago's Chinatown neighborhood, currently owned by Annie Investments LLC, has a documented history dating back to its 1915 construction. The property has generated substantial activity over the past seven years, with a total of 49 service requests recorded through the 311 system. Most recently, in 2026, there have been multiple service requests including a restaurant complaint, building violation, graffiti removal, and issues with street lighting, all of which have been resolved. The building's maintenance and regulatory history shows limited permit activity, with only two building permits filed in the past seven years, and only one environmental complaint related to water pollution in October 2021, which was resolved within a day. While the frequency of 311 service requests suggests ongoing engagement with city services, the nature of these requests appears to cover various neighborhood maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems, though the recorded building violation in April 2026 warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 2143 S Archer Ave'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
