Initial analysis

The property at 1700 N Monticello Ave Unit 2 is a 2-unit residential building located in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood, built in 1893 and currently owned by AN CAP LLC. The building's records over the past seven years show relatively minimal issues, with only one building code violation recorded since 2020 related to a permit inspection that remains unresolved as of the latest data. Service requests to the city through 311 have been more frequent, totaling 14 specifically for the building, with the owner filing an additional 32 requests under their name. Notably, three of the most recent service requests were for tree trimming in February 2026, though this type of request is no longer being accepted. Other recent 311 interactions include a December 2025 information-only call and two closed complaints from November 2025 regarding water on the street and an abandoned vehicle. The building has had minimal permit activity during this period, with only one permit recorded. While the total number of service requests may appear high, most of these relate to external issues rather than building-specific concerns, and the single unresolved building code violation from 2020 represents the only major compliance issue on record.

Risk rating

How 1700 N Monticello Ave 2'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.
