Irving Park, Chicago IL 60618 13143160170000 4 units · 1929

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 four-unit residential building at 4211 N Monticello Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Blooming Properties, has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of 16 documented cases. The most recent issues have primarily involved abandoned vehicles, with three such complaints lodged between 2025 and 2026, including one that remains open as of June 2026. The building has also experienced sporadic incidents requiring attention in public spaces, such as a closed graffiti removal request and a finance parking code enforcement review in spring 2026, as well as a tree debris clean-up request in September 2025, all of which have been resolved. The limited number of service requests and the nature of the reported issues suggest that the building itself has experienced minimal internal problems, with most external service requests relating to public space concerns rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 4211 N Monticello 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.
