Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5788 S Archer Ave in Garfield Ridge, owned by Rudolph Marmol, has been standing since 1925 and has maintained a relatively minimal history of documented issues over the past seven years. The property, built nearly a century ago, has had only one building permit filed in this period, suggesting limited structural modifications or improvements. The most recent and notable pattern of incidents relates to graffiti problems in early 2026, with two separate removal requests within two days of each other. Additionally, there was a concerning "no water" complaint in January 2026, which could indicate temporary water supply issues. The building has also experienced some basic infrastructure and public space concerns, including a damaged street light pole complaint in December 2025. Of particular note, there were two rat/rodent-related complaints in the latter half of 2025, suggesting some challenges with pest control in the surrounding area. While these incidents have all been classified as "closed," they represent the majority of documented issues for this property over the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 5788 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.
