Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4921 N Monticello Ave, located in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, was constructed in 1916 and is currently owned by Willa Jeanne Voss. Over the past seven years, this property has generated a total of 17 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. The building's documented service requests have predominantly focused on addressing issues in the immediate vicinity, with six reports of abandoned vehicles between August and December 2025, and two instances of rodent-related problems in 2026. While all reported service requests have been marked as closed, with no indication of unresolved issues, the recurring nature of both the rodent complaints and abandoned vehicle reports suggests these were ongoing neighborhood concerns during that period rather than specific building-related problems. The property has shown consistent compliance with reporting requirements, though it's worth noting that apart from the 311 service requests, no other significant building-related incidents or violations have been recorded in the available data.

Risk rating

How 4921 N Monticello Ave 2'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.
