Garfield Park, Chicago IL 60612 16131000410000 2 units · 1888

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3116 W Monroe Street in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood, owned by Eroica Del Real, is an 1888 structure that has recently experienced multiple property maintenance issues. The building's 311 service request history over the past seven years shows 39 total requests, with the most recent pattern of complaints occurring in 2026 related to abandoned vehicles, with three reported incidents on January 20, 2026 alone, though one of those is still listed as open. The property has also been the subject of multiple vacant lot cleaning requests in 2026, with one currently open request from June 2026 and another from April 2026 which has been closed. Looking at the larger picture, there has been minimal formal building improvement activity documented, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years, which may indicate limited proactive maintenance or upgrades to the aging structure. The clustering of recent complaints in 2026, particularly regarding abandoned vehicles, suggests that this situation has become a more persistent concern in the immediate vicinity of the property, though it's worth noting that these issues could also be related to the surrounding area rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 3116 W Monroe St'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.
