Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6017 W Montrose Ave 1 in the Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Tenzin Niboom, was constructed in 1963 and has a relatively limited violation and service request history over the past seven years. However, the most concerning aspect of the building's recent history is the cluster of three complaint-driven inspection violations recorded in August 2025, all of which remain unresolved as of now. While the building has only one 311 service request on record during this period - regarding an abandoned vehicle complaint in July 2025 - this matter was appropriately closed and does not relate to the building's condition or safety. The concentration of three open violations within a short time frame in August 2025 represents the most significant issue in the building's recent history, though it should be noted that these records are from the future date of 2025 and may represent either speculative or anticipated violations rather than confirmed historical issues.

Risk rating

How 6017 W Montrose Ave 1'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.
