3101 W Montrose Chicago

Irving Park, Chicago IL 60618 13133010170000 7 units · 1924

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 seven-unit residential building at 3101 W Montrose in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Murtishi Realty Group, has a relatively low record of building activity over the past seven years. The property has only one building permit on file during this period, which indicates limited construction or renovation activity. The building's 311 service request history shows a total of 24 recorded incidents, with the most recent cluster of issues occurring between March and June 2026, primarily involving street maintenance concerns. Notably, there were three graffiti removal requests in spring 2026, along with multiple reports of potholes in the street, two of which remain unresolved as of June 2026. The frequency of graffiti and street maintenance issues appeared to peak during this spring period, though these incidents relate more to the surrounding neighborhood than the building's internal conditions or management. There are no recorded complaints or service requests directly related to the building's structure, maintenance, or resident services in the available data, which suggests relatively stable building conditions, though the limited permit activity could be noteworthy in terms of property improvements or maintenance.

Risk rating

How 3101 W Montrose 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.
