Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1714 N Monticello Ave, located in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, was built in 1893 and is currently owned by Uriel Cruz. The property has generated a total of 17 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most notable cluster of activities occurring on June 2, 2026, when six service requests were filed simultaneously, including three related to animal welfare (two pet wellness checks and a nuisance animal complaint) and two sanitation code violations. These multiple complaints suggest a concerning pattern of sanitation and animal-related issues at the property. The building has also undergone some permitted modifications, with four building permits issued in the same seven-year period, though the specific nature and scope of these improvements are not detailed in the record. An environmental complaint regarding air pollution was filed in August 2021, though inspectors found no violations upon investigation and resolved the complaint within eight days. While the staff response time to environmental complaints appears prompt, the recent surge of service requests related to sanitation and animal welfare in 2026 merits attention, as these issues could impact resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 1714 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.

Neighborhood percentile
