Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 3901 W 47th Street in Archer Heights, owned by Barbara Boruch, was constructed in 1971 and has experienced a number of notable issues over the past seven years. Most significantly, there are currently six open violations from an April 2025 complaint-driven inspection that remain unresolved. The building has accrued 22 total building code violations during this period, suggesting persistent regulatory compliance challenges. The property has also generated nine 311 service requests, with the most recent being a rodent baiting complaint in May 2026, which while closed indicates ongoing pest management concerns. Other service requests include a variety of municipal matters such as tree maintenance (both trimming and emergency response), sewer cleaning inspections, and a building violation in December 2024, along with a dead animal removal request. Notably, only one building permit has been recorded in the past seven years, which may indicate limited documented improvements or modifications to the property.

Risk rating

How 3901 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.

Neighborhood percentile
6thpercentile
