1001 S Monitor Chicago

Austin, Chicago IL 60644 16174080010000 8 units · 1925

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 8-unit residential building at 1001 S Monitor in Chicago's Austin neighborhood has been under the ownership of Bijumon Kizhakkeekuttu since its construction in 1925. The property has generated a total of 21 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent set of requests appearing in 2026. The building's maintenance record shows recurring issues with exterior maintenance, particularly in the winter months, as evidenced by two snow-related complaints regarding uncleared sidewalks in December 2025. The spring of 2026 has seen multiple tree trimming requests, though these are no longer being accepted according to city policy. Additionally, there have been some concerns about lighting in the area, with an alley light complaint registered in May 2026, while a garbage cart maintenance issue was reported in June 2026 and remains unresolved as of this report. While the building has had regular interaction with city services, the nature of the complaints has primarily focused on exterior maintenance and municipal services rather than issues related to the building's internal systems or resident amenities.

Risk rating

How 1001 S Monitor 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
23rdpercentile

Out of 7223 buildings in this neighborhood, 5562 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
