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.

Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The property at 1647 W Montvale Ave is a three-unit residential building located in Chicago's Morgan Park neighborhood, owned by Talkean Partnership LLC and constructed in 2002. The building's 311 service request history over the past seven years shows relatively few incidents, with a total of 13 requests associated with the owner, though most of these appear to be related to street maintenance rather than building-specific issues. The most recent service requests occurred in June 2025, with two separate reports of potholes in the street near the property, both of which have been closed. Additionally, there was a garbage cart maintenance request in November 2025 that has also been resolved. The limited number of service requests on record, particularly over the past few years, suggests that there have been no significant recurring issues with the property itself, though most of the documented incidents pertain to street-level concerns rather than building conditions or resident services.

Risk rating

How 1647 W Montvale 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.
