Initial analysis

The five-unit building at 6458 S Archer Ave in Garfield Ridge, owned by Thomas Hushka and constructed in 1965, has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years. Most recently, in August 2024, the property underwent three complaint-driven inspections that resulted in code violations, though all were resolved promptly. Prior to that, in September 2023, the building was involved in an environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping, which was investigated and founded on the same day. During this period, the property has generated two 311 service requests in 2025, one related to graffiti removal and the other concerning a parking code enforcement review, both of which were closed. The owner has maintained two parcels associated with the property, and while there have been several building violations and 311 service requests on record, the majority have been resolved without indicating any persistent issues.

Risk rating

How 6458 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.
