AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 4635 N Monticello Ave in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood is a modest structure dating back to 1913, currently owned by Maxwell Leib. The property has maintained a relatively low incidence of service requests and violations over the past seven years, with only one building violation recorded. The most recent service requests, both from 2025, were for non-structural municipal issues: a report of an injured animal in September and a tree trimming request (which is no longer being accepted) in January. The minimal number of service requests and violations on record suggests stable building maintenance, though it's worth noting that most of the recorded incidents relate to external municipal matters rather than building-specific issues. The available data covers only up to October 2023, and any subsequent events or changes would not be reflected in this summary.

Risk rating

How 4635 N Monticello Ave 1St'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.
