Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3210 W Montrose Ave in Albany Park, owned by KMS I LLC, is a 1910 structure that has been subject to some noteworthy recent issues. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 37 service requests through the 311 system, with a particular cluster of concerns emerging in Spring 2026. During April and March 2026, there was a significant pattern of graffiti-related problems, with six documented requests for graffiti removal in just a two-month period, suggesting possible security or maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity. Additionally, there were two other service requests in April 2026, one regarding a sanitation code violation and another concerning water issues on the street, both of which were also resolved. The building's permit activity has been minimal over the past seven years, with only one building permit recorded, though this alone does not necessarily indicate any property issues. While the 311 service requests have all been marked as closed, the concentration of recent incidents, particularly the multiple graffiti cases, may be worth noting for prospective tenants considering this property.

Risk rating

How 3210 W Montrose Ave'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.
