2559 W Montrose Chicago

The 33-unit, 1929 multifamily building at 2559 W Montrose in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, currently owned by Montrose 33 LLC, has experienced a variety of maintenance and environmental issues over the past two decades. The most recent documented concern is an open water-related complaint from June 2026, though there were multiple environmental and pest-related incidents in late 2025, including rodent, dead animal, and fly dumping issues, all of which were subsequently resolved. The building's permit activity has been minimal over the past seven years, with only one permit recorded during this period. Looking further back, the property faced notable environmental challenges in 2001, with multiple recorded air pollution and noise complaints, as well as four administrative violations that resulted in fines totaling $4,000. Two additional violations were recorded in 2010, also resulting in $4,000 in fines. The building's recent service history includes a mix of street maintenance requests, tree trimming, and utility-related inquiries, though many of these issues have been promptly resolved. While the property has experienced periodic environmental and maintenance challenges over the years, particularly in the early 2000s and 2010s, there have been no pattern of serious violations in the most recent years, with only 17 service requests in the past seven years, suggesting improved maintenance responsiveness.
