Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 2991 S Archer Ave in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood, owned by Juan F Ruvalcaba, is an 1888 structure currently facing multiple unresolved issues. As of October 2023, there are 8 building violations on record from the past seven years, with a concerning cluster of six open violations resulting from complaint-driven inspections in March 2026. This building has also undergone periodic routine inspections in June 2023 that resulted in two additional open violations. The property has experienced a significant number of service requests, with 10 being recorded in the past seven years directly relating to the building, and the owner (who holds five total parcels) having a total of 88 service requests across their properties during this period. Recent historical service requests include various issues such as a no water complaint, building violation related to fire safety, consumer fraud complaint, and requests for graffiti removal, though these particular requests from 2026 and beyond suggest an active engagement with city services that may at least partially address some concerns. The building's record shows a mix of routine inspections and complaint-driven responses, with the most pressing issues currently remaining open and unresolved.

Risk rating

How 2991 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.
