Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4824 W Altgeld St in Chicago's Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Fabian Montoya, is an early 20th-century structure dating back to 1922. The building has a relatively low number of documented service requests and violations over the past seven years, with a total of four 311 service requests and two building violations on record. The most recent documented incidents have primarily involved tree-related issues, with two emergency tree incidents occurring in July 2024 (one reported through 311 City Services and one through the Alderman's office), and a subsequent tree planting request submitted in August 2025 that remains open. A dead animal pick-up request was filed in September 2025 and has been closed. Looking further back in the building's history, there was an air pollution complaint logged in July 1999, though this would not likely impact current residents given its age and the building's more recent service history.

Risk rating

How 4824 W Altgeld St'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
