AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 2270 N Monitor Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by John Fiore, is an 1888 construction that has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent months. Most significantly, in March 2025, there was a cluster of water-related concerns, with three separate service requests regarding leaks and water in the basement, culminating in a plumbing violation that was documented and subsequently closed by city services. The building has also required attention to exterior maintenance, with a graffiti removal request submitted and resolved in October 2025. While the property has only a limited history of service requests over the past seven years (with a total of five documented cases), the concentration of water-related issues in early 2025 might indicate recurring plumbing or water management challenges in this nearly 140-year-old structure.

Risk rating

How 2270 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.
