Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3859 W Montrose Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood is a single parcel property owned by Angela Motiejunas, constructed in 1966. The building's record shows an unusually high concentration of 311 service requests in May 2026, with six vehicle-related incidents including two abandoned vehicle complaints and two city vehicle sticker violation complaints, all of which were promptly closed. Additionally, there were two reports of potholes in the street in May 2026, which were also addressed and closed. Between 2016 and 2023, the property generated a total of 22 service requests, though the recent cluster of May 2026 complaints suggests a temporary spike in local traffic or parking-related issues in the immediate vicinity of the building. The overall service request history shows no reported issues directly related to the building's condition or resident services, and all recent complaints have been resolved through normal city processes.

Risk rating

How 3859 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

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.
