Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 4143 S Archer in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood, owned by Efren Perez, has been standing since 1926 and has a total of two parcels associated with the ownership. The building's recent service history shows some concerning patterns, particularly in June 2026, when multiple issues arose, including two separate complaints about water in the basement, a sanitation code violation (which remains open), and a graffiti removal request that has since been closed. The property has also experienced graffiti issues earlier in the spring of 2026, with a March request for removal being documented. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of 41 service requests associated with the owner, though this total includes the building's 39 requests plus additional requests from the same owner. The recent clustering of water-related issues and sanitation concerns, particularly in the basement area, suggests potential challenges in building maintenance, though many of the service requests have been promptly addressed and closed.

Risk rating

How 4143 S Archer Chicago'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.
