AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 4946 N Monitor Ave in Jefferson Park, owned by Drago Zivanovic, is a single-parcel property constructed in 1950. The building's documented service request history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only two 311 service requests recorded. Looking back through the property's history reveals one environmental complaint related to air pollution dating from November 29, 2002, though this appears to be an isolated incident with no apparent pattern of similar complaints. While the building's recent service request history suggests relatively stable conditions, the age of the structure (73 years as of 2023) means it has likely undergone numerous maintenance and upkeep procedures over its lifetime, though specific details of these are not captured in the current records.

Risk rating

How 4946 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.
