Jefferson Park, Chicago IL 60630 13084200110000 9 units · 1929

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-story, nine-unit residential building at 4941 N Monitor in Chicago's Jefferson Park neighborhood, owned by Westward 360, has a documented history dating back to its 1929 construction. The property has experienced significant management activity over the past seven years, with a total of 34 building violations recorded, though most occurred between 2019 and 2022. The building's maintenance history shows the issuance of eight building permits during this period, suggesting some level of ongoing property maintenance or improvement work. While the number of 311 service requests from the building's owner totals 98 over the seven-year period, the majority of recent service requests in 2025-2026 appear to be related to parking enforcement issues, including two abandoned vehicle complaints and two Finance Parking Code Enforcement Reviews. The most recent service request was simply an information call to 311 City Services in May 2026. Given the property's age and the number of violations recorded, these recent parking-related issues might suggest some challenges with building access or nearby street parking, though the limited scope of recent service requests means any potential concerns are not definitively established based solely on this data.

Risk rating

How 4941 N Monitor Chicago'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.

Neighborhood percentile
