Unlock complete reportThe 17-unit residential building at 5575 W Monroe in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Pine St LLC, has experienced several noteworthy issues in recent years. The 97-year-old property, built in 1926, is currently facing three unresolved periodic routine inspection violations, including two documented on January 6, 2026, and one from December 1, 2022. These open building code violations suggest ongoing regulatory compliance concerns. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of 14 service requests directly associated with the owner, with the most recent being a May 2026 dead animal pick-up request. The property has also experienced multiple abandoned vehicle complaints (three between December 2025 and February 2026), though these were handled by the Alderman's office rather than building management. Additional service requests in this period included graffiti removal and a tree trimming request from late 2025, both of which have been resolved. While the building has only one documented building permit in the past seven years, the combination of open violation notices and recent service requests warrants attention to the property's current maintenance and regulatory compliance status.

How 5575 W Monroe 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.
