Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2616 W Montgomery Ave in Brighton Park, owned by Jie Hua Li, was constructed in 1924 and has recently experienced several service requests and maintenance issues. Most notably, there is currently an active tree emergency situation, with multiple related service requests filed on June 10, 2026, including one specifically for tree emergency and another for tree debris clean-up, though the latter has since been closed. Earlier in 2026, the property had two parking-related enforcement reviews in April and May, both of which were resolved. Additionally, there was a yard waste pick-up request in March 2026 that has been completed. The building's recent history shows a concentration of service requests in 2026, with a particular focus on exterior maintenance and municipal service matters, though overall, the total number of service requests over the past seven years remains relatively low at 19.

Risk rating

How 2616 W Montgomery 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

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.
