Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 4002 S Archer Ave in Brighton Park, built in 1919 and currently owned by Christie J De La Torre, has experienced several events over the past few decades, with the most significant activity occurring recently. In December 2025, the building was subject to two permit-related inspections, though both violations were promptly resolved. The first half of 2026 saw a notable increase in maintenance issues, with multiple reports of graffiti requiring removal (four instances between February and June 2026), as well as requests for public way inspection by the Health Department and garbage cart maintenance in March 2026. This cluster of service requests indicates a period of concentrated attention to external maintenance matters. Looking further back, the building's record shows relatively few issues, with only one environmental complaint documented in February 1996 regarding illegal dumping, though this may no longer be relevant to current conditions. While there have been two building violations recorded in the past seven years, their specific nature and resolution details are not specified in the available data. The building's overall violation and service request history suggests periodic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding exterior upkeep, though recent permit-related concerns were resolved.

Risk rating

How 4002 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
12thpercentile
