Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2701 S Archer Ave in Bridgeport, owned by Alice Ratto, is a historic property dating back to 1886. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal violations, with only one building code violation recorded in September 2020 related to permit inspections, which has since been resolved. The property has generated a total of 28 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the majority (7) occurring in July 2025 alone. These recent service requests include street light issues, wildlife interactions (specifically a coyote), graffiti removal needs, and rodent-related complaints. While the building itself has maintained compliance with building codes, the surrounding area has experienced various maintenance and pest concerns, particularly in mid-2025 when multiple service requests were filed within a short timeframe. The property's overall record suggests relatively stable building conditions with the exception of recent external environmental challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 2701 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
9thpercentile

Out of 3132 buildings in this neighborhood, 2850 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
