Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 4020 W 47th Street in Chicago's Archer Heights neighborhood, owned by Arturo Pina, has been in operation since 1958 and currently has several concerning unresolved building issues. There are four documented building code violations over the past seven years, including three complaint-driven inspections on May 31, 2022, and one on July 30, 2019, all of which remain open. Most recently, there is an unresolved permit-related inspection violation from June 2025. The building has generated 14 service requests through the 311 system in the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2025, including a sewer cave-in inspection request and complaints about water in the basement. Other recent 311 service requests that have since been closed include reports of rodent activity (September 2025), graffiti (August 2025), tree trimming (February 2025), and a street pothole (January 2025). The building's only documented building permit in the past seven years is from 2019, suggesting limited construction or maintenance activity during this period. The persistent pattern of unresolved violations and frequent service requests indicates ongoing maintenance and safety concerns within the property, warranting careful consideration.

Risk rating

How 4020 W 47Th St'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.
