AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 1046 S Monitor Ave in the Austin neighborhood, owned by Lashon Brown and constructed in 1924, has experienced a variety of municipal service requests over the past seven years. Most recently, in June 2026, there is an open complaint regarding a pothole in the street near the property. The past two years have seen the property through several community maintenance issues, with four notable incidents in 2025 alone, including a water lead test visit, a rodent complaint requiring baiting, and a missed garbage pick-up complaint, all of which were resolved. Earlier in 2026, there were requests for tree trimming and reporting an abandoned vehicle, both of which were closed. The building's service request history, while not extensive with only eight total requests, shows a pattern of typical urban maintenance issues including street maintenance, waste management, and pest control, with all previous service requests having been resolved except for the most recent one.

Risk rating

How 1046 S Monitor Ave'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.
