Initial analysis

The three-story multifamily building at 5000 W Monroe in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by NPA Monroe Street LLC, was constructed in 1918 and contains 15 residential units. The property has experienced relatively few major issues over the past seven years, with only two building code violations recorded, both of which were resolved in June 2021 following complaint-driven inspections. The building has generated a total of 43 service requests through the city's 311 system during this period, with the most recent incidents occurring in early 2026, including reports of tree debris, fly dumping, an abandoned vehicle, and a request for ice and snow removal. The frequency of 311 calls has varied, with notable clusters around winter weather-related issues. While the number of service requests and violations is not unusually high for an older building, the records suggest ongoing maintenance challenges typical of properties in this age and neighborhood, though most recent issues appear to be related to external factors rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 5000 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
2ndpercentile

Out of 7223 buildings in this neighborhood, 7079 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
