Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6719 S Archer Ave in Chicago's Garfield Ridge neighborhood, owned by ANKA CORP, has been in operation since 1970 and currently exhibits several concerning issues. Most notably, five unresolved complaint-driven violations were documented in January 2023, representing the most recent and serious compliance issues on record. The property has also experienced a cluster of rodent-related problems in May 2024, with three separate complaints filed through Alderman services regarding rat issues, though these cases have since been closed. Prior to these incidents, there was one resolved pothole complaint in October 2025 and an information-only call to 311 in July 2025. Looking back even further, an air pollution complaint was recorded against the property in February 2000, though this issue's resolution status is not specified in the current records. While the building has a relatively low number of service requests and violations over the past seven years (totaling five of each), the concentration of recent violations and rodent issues suggests there are current challenges affecting the property that warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 6719 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.
