4654 N Monticello Chicago

Albany Park, Chicago IL 60625 13141120300000 17 units · 1910

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 17-unit residential building at 4654 N Monticello in the Albany Park neighborhood, owned by Pioneer Monticello, has been standing since 1910 and has generated a total of 9 documented service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. While the building's maintenance record from 2015-2022 shows relatively few incidents compared to many properties, the nature of the recent service requests from 2025 (the most recent available data points through October 2023) raises some community safety and maintenance concerns. In 2025 alone, there were multiple service requests including two instances of graffiti removal, a rodent issue requiring baiting, a stray animal complaint, a dead animal pickup, and a tree trim request. All of these incidents have been marked as closed, but the concentration of service requests in 2025 suggests some ongoing challenges with building surroundings and community environment. The 311 service request history indicates a relatively stable building ownership and management situation, with only one reported service request related to building interior or infrastructure issues (through 311), while most reported incidents pertained to exterior environmental concerns.

Risk rating

How 4654 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
6thpercentile
