Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4742 S Kolin Ave in Chicago's Archer Heights neighborhood, owned by Baldomero Pacheco, has experienced a modest level of service activity over the past seven years since its construction in 1928. The most recent service request, dating to June 2026, involves an open water lead test kit request, which although not yet resolved, represents an important health and safety consideration for the building. Prior to this, there were three tree-related service requests between 2024 and 2025, with two tree removal inspection requests (one through Alderman channels and one through Streets and Sanitation) and one leak check request in August 2025, all of which have been successfully closed. The property has had minimal construction activity during this period, with only two building permits issued, suggesting limited major modifications or improvements to the structure. The relatively low number of service requests and permits over this extended period, totaling only six documented interactions with city services, indicates limited building issues or required interventions, though the open water testing request warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 4742 S Kolin Ave 1'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.
