Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4900 S Tripp Ave in Chicago's Archer Heights neighborhood was built in 1959 and is currently owned by Ofelia Brito. Over the past seven years, the property has experienced several notable events, with the most significant cluster occurring in August 2019 when multiple complaint-driven inspections resulted in building code violations, though all of these were subsequently resolved. More recently, in June 2026, there was a series of tree-related emergency situations requiring attention from both the Streets and Sanitation Department and the Alderman's office, all of which have been closed. Other service requests in the past two years include a pothole complaint from September 2025 and an abandoned vehicle report from June 2025, both of which have also been resolved.

Risk rating

How 4900 S Tripp 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.
