Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1647 N Monticello Ave 2nd in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, owned by Hector Berrios, has been facing significant ongoing issues in 2025. Of particular concern are the six unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded on August 21, 2025, which represent the most recent and potentially most serious issues affecting the property. The building's recent service request history from 2025 shows a pattern of maintenance and safety concerns, including a rodent infestation that was addressed through city services, multiple building and sanitation code violations in August, and a garbage cart maintenance issue in December. The property has experienced various municipal service interactions throughout 2025, including an abandoned vehicle complaint and a tree trimming request, though many of these issues have been resolved through normal city processes. The building's documented issues suggest a period of increased scrutiny and maintenance challenges, with the most pressing concerns being the cluster of open violations from August 2025 and the property's notable service request activity during the year.

Risk rating

How 1647 N Monticello Ave 2Nd'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.
