Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4847 W Montana St in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by B Espinosa & S Cuito, has shown relatively low maintenance and service request activity over the past seven years. Built in 1920, this property has had eight documented 311 service requests in recent years, with all being resolved. Most of the recent activity occurred in February 2025, when multiple requests were made, including two Public Way Inspection requests, a 311 Information call, and a Graffiti Removal request. Additionally, there were two more service requests earlier in 2025 for Garbage Cart Maintenance and a Tree Planting Request, both of which have also been successfully closed. The documented service requests suggest regular maintenance and community engagement, though the clustering of multiple requests in February 2025 is notable.

Risk rating

How 4847 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

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.
