Initial analysis

The nine-unit residential building at 904 Montana in Chicago's Sheffield & DePaul neighborhood is a relatively new construction, completed in 2017 and currently owned by 2448 N Lincoln LLC across two parcels. The property's recent service record from 2025 shows an unusual cluster of graffiti-related issues, with six documented removal requests between June and August 2025, followed by an e-scooter parking complaint in November 2025, all of which were successfully closed. These incidents suggest ongoing challenges with building surroundings maintenance, though all reported issues were addressed through proper channels. Historically, the building's records show minimal issues since its 2017 construction, with only one building violation recorded over the past seven years, and its 311 service request total of 52 is relatively modest for a multi-unit building of this size and age. Prior to the building's construction, the site had documented complaints for illegal dumping in 2011 and a noise complaint in 2001, though these are no longer relevant to the current property conditions.

Risk rating

How 904 Montana Chicago'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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 402 buildings in this neighborhood, 181 are predicted to be safer.
