Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5108 W Montana St in Belmont Cragin, owned by Jose & Rafael Murillo, has been standing since 1926 and has had minimal documented issues in recent years. Over the past seven years, there have been six documented 311 service requests associated with the property, comprising primarily routine municipal service matters. Most notably, there was a cluster of four separate abandoned vehicle complaints filed on December 30, 2024, all of which were subsequently closed. Two additional service requests were made outside of this cluster - one for a blue recycling cart in April 2026 and another regarding parking code enforcement in February 2025, both of which were also closed without any indication of unresolved issues. The relatively low number of service requests over this extended period, particularly given the property's age and urban location, suggests generally stable building conditions, with the recorded incidents appearing to relate more to street/municipal issues than to the property's internal systems or structure.

Risk rating

How 5108 W Montana 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.
