Initial analysis

The 26-unit residential building at 4624 N Monticello in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood is a century-old property built in 1919 and currently owned by Florence Ardelean. The building's documented service history over the past seven years shows a total of eleven 311 service requests associated with the property, with five of these requests being directly connected to the building itself. Most notably, there was a concerning cluster of three tree trim requests logged in late 2024, all of which were submitted when the city had paused accepting such requests, indicating potential miscommunication or procedural confusion regarding tree maintenance needs. Additionally, in early 2026, there were two infrastructure-related service requests: one for an alley pothole complaint and another for a malfunctioning alley light, both of which were resolved. While the total number of service requests is relatively low for a building of this size and age, the pattern of tree-related requests and recent lighting issues in the alley could be of interest to potential residents.

Risk rating

How 4624 N Monticello 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
5thpercentile
