Initial analysis

The property at 5032 S Kildare Ave in Archer Heights is a 1929 building currently owned by Oscar Ravelo, with a recorded history spanning the last seven years showing a mix of service requests and code violations. Most notably, there are two unresolved building code violations from September 2020, which were generated from complaint-driven inspections. The building's service request history shows 26 interactions with city services, with the most recent being a tree emergency reported in June 2026 that remains open. Other notable service requests include two recycling pickup matters earlier in 2026 (one through city services and the other via the alderman's office), an abandoned vehicle complaint from December 2025, and two issues from August 2025 involving sewer cleaning and water in the basement, both of which have been closed. The presence of water-related issues in the past, specifically the basement water complaint and sewer inspection request from 2025, suggests some concerns with moisture management, though it's worth noting that many of the recent service requests have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 5032 S Kildare 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.
