Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2252 N Monticello Ave, owned by Jose L Rosado, is a 1924 construction located in Logan Square. Over the past seven years, the property has experienced multiple concerning incidents, with a total of 13 building violations recorded under the current ownership. Recently, in 2024 and 2026, there have been several service requests, including an open building violation dated January 2026, and two resolved issues from 2024 involving an alley light outage and a vicious animal complaint. A water lead test kit request submitted in April 2024 remains open and warrants attention. The building's permit activity is minimal, with only one building permit issued in the past seven years, and relatively low service request volume overall (4 building-related service requests in total, plus 11 additional requests under ownership records). With the age of the building and the number of recorded violations, particularly focusing on safety and infrastructure issues like lead testing, the property's maintenance history shows some areas of concern requiring monitoring.

Risk rating

How 2252 N Monticello 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

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.
