Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3649 W Montrose Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, owned by Genoveva Iturralde, was constructed in 1923 and has recently experienced some notable issues. Most concerning are two open violations related to complaint-driven inspections recorded in January 2026, which remain unresolved as of October 2023. While the building has had relatively few documented problems over the past seven years, with only two building violations on record, there have been multiple service requests to 311 that suggest ongoing maintenance and neighborhood quality challenges. These include a garbage cart maintenance request and a building violation complaint in February 2026, along with historical issues such as missed garbage pick-ups, a pothole complaint, graffiti removal needs, and a rodent baiting request in 2024-2025, all of which have been resolved. The building's limited violation history and relatively few service requests over the past seven years indicate that while there are some recurring maintenance and neighborhood issues, they have typically been addressed through normal city service channels.

Risk rating

How 3649 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.
