Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5780 S Archer Ave in Garfield Ridge, owned by Anna Maka, was constructed in 1968 and has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. Most concerning are two unresolved building code violations from October 2022, which remain open more than a year after their identification. The property has generated a total of 11 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent being a graffiti removal request in April 2026. A pattern of safety and maintenance concerns is evident, including two graffiti removal requests (2025, 2026), two street light outage complaints (September and July 2025), and a water leak investigation (June 2025). The building has received one building permit during this seven-year period, which represents relatively low permit activity for a property of this age. While the building's location in Garfield Ridge has relatively few documented issues, the combination of open building code violations and multiple service requests related to safety and maintenance concerns warrants attention, particularly regarding the unresolved nature of the building code violations as of the latest available data.

Risk rating

How 5780 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
