Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3651 South Archer Avenue in McKinley Park, owned by Alex Costales, is a 135-year-old property constructed in 1888. The master building record indicates that the property has had minimal municipal service interaction over the past seven years, with only four documented 311 service requests. These requests, all of which have been resolved, span various maintenance issues including a tree debris clean-up (March 2026), a water service complaint (February 2026), a request for a blue recycling cart (December 2025), and a graffiti removal request (November 2024). The relatively low number of service requests over such a long period, particularly for a building of this age, could suggest either minimal issues with the property or potentially underreported concerns, though no direct correlation can be made from the available data. The most recent issues have been primarily related to external matters rather than structural or maintenance problems within the building itself.

Risk rating

How 3651 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
