Avondale, Chicago IL 60618 13261120080000 4 units · 1908

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 4-unit residential building at 3041 N Monticello Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by Krystyna B Kowalik, has been standing since 1908 and has had minimal documented service requests in recent years. Over the past seven years, there have been three known 311 service requests, all of which have been resolved: a yard waste pick-up request in June 2026, a fly dumping complaint in July 2025, and a tree trim request in July 2024 (though it's worth noting that tree trim requests are no longer being accepted by the city). Looking further back in history, there was one environmental complaint recorded in March 2006 regarding hazardous materials, though the current status and resolution details of this incident are not provided in the available data. The relatively low number of service requests and complaints over such an extended period could suggest either stable property management or limited reporting of issues, though without more recent data on the building's condition and management practices, no definitive conclusions can be drawn.

Risk rating

How 3041 N Monticello Ave 2Nd'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.
