Avondale, Chicago IL 60618 13233310270000 4 units · 1915

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 3224 N Monticello Ave in Avondale has maintained a relatively low level of reported issues over the past several years. Built in 1915 and currently owned by COMMUNITY SAV BK TR, this property is part of a two-parcel ownership structure. The building's recent service request history spans the last seven years and includes only two reported incidents, with the most recent being an open request from May 2026 for a blue recycling cart. Prior to that, there was one documented incident requiring graffiti removal in August 2024, though this request has since been closed. The limited number of service requests on record, particularly in recent years, suggests stable building conditions, though it's worth noting that the recycling cart request remains unresolved as of the most recent data update in October 2023.

Risk rating

How 3224 N Monticello 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.

Neighborhood percentile
