Unlock complete reportThe two-unit property at 5471 N Monitor Ave in Jefferson Park, owned by William Corliss and dating back to 1922, has had five documented 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent concerns primarily focused on street maintenance and garbage services. Two alley pothole complaints were filed, one in May 2026 (currently open) and another in May 2024 (closed), indicating ongoing infrastructure maintenance needs in the vicinity. Additionally, there have been two requests for garbage cart maintenance through the Alderman's office, with one completed in April 2024 and another in November 2024, suggesting attention to waste management issues. The property also currently has an open report as of May 2026 regarding an abandoned vehicle complaint, which may or may not be directly related to the property itself. The relatively low number of service requests over this period, considering the property's age and unit count, suggests either limited issues requiring municipal intervention or potential underreporting of concerns through official channels.
How 5471 N Monitor 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
Grade A–B — Low risk
City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.
Grade C — Moderate risk
Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.
Grade D–F — High risk
Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
Out of 1617 buildings in this neighborhood, 1148 are predicted to be safer.
