AI summary

The three-unit, two-floor residential building at 3941 W Monroe St in Garfield Park, owned by Angela Price, was constructed in 1909 and has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. Most concerning is a recent building code violation recorded in June 2024 that remains unresolved as of October 2023, indicating a current compliance issue. The property has a documented history of vacant/abandoned building status, with two violations issued in April and September 2018-2019, both related to security and maintenance requirements, though these cases were ultimately city non-suits with no fines imposed. While the building has had only one permit issued in the past seven years, the relatively low number of violations and permits might suggest limited recent activity or investment in the property. The building's documented history spans multiple years, but the most pressing concern appears to be the recent unresolved building code violation from 2024.

Risk rating

How 3941 W Monroe St 2F'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.
