AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 2515 N Monitor Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Angel Martinez, has been standing since 1926. The property's recent history over the past seven years shows minimal 311 service requests, with only two recorded in 2026 and 2025 - one related to a leak inspection and another concerning tree planting. However, the property has accumulated five building violations during this period, suggesting some regulatory compliance challenges, though the relatively low number of both service requests and violations could indicate generally stable maintenance patterns. It's worth noting that the building's total parcel count is four, which may indicate additional land or parcel configurations associated with the main structure.

Risk rating

How 2515 N Monitor Ave'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.
