Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3513 W Montrose Ave in the Irving Park neighborhood is a century-old property built in 1912 and currently owned by Gustavo Monterroso. The building's recent record over the past seven years shows minimal service requests, with only one documented 311 call - a garbage cart maintenance request made on March 27, 2026, which has since been closed. This extremely low frequency of service requests, with only one recorded instance, suggests either efficient property maintenance or potential underreporting of issues. The building's record shows no significant safety concerns or resident experience issues in recent years, though it's important to note that the provided data only covers a limited timeframe and may not capture all building conditions or management practices.

Risk rating

How 3513 W Montrose Ave Bsmt'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.

Neighborhood percentile
