Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 3982 S Archer Ave in Brighton Park, owned by Jose T Arellano, has a history of various maintenance and safety concerns over the past several years. Built in 1916, this property is currently facing multiple open building code violations as of March 2025, all related to complaint-driven inspections that remain unresolved. The 311 service request records for the building show a concerning pattern in 2026, with multiple reports of dead animals needing removal, though several of these requests have been marked as closed. Additionally, there are two open service requests from May 2026, one related to building violations and another concerning consumer fraud. The property has generated a total of 44 311 service requests over the past seven years, suggesting frequent interaction with city services, though many of these requests are likely routine matters as indicated by their diverse nature. While the building has had three documented code violations in the past seven years, the most pressing current concerns appear to be the multiple open violations and service requests from 2025 and 2026.

Risk rating

How 3982 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.
