Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6046 N Monitor Ave in Jefferson Park, owned by Howard and Gina Lakin, has been in service since 1930 and has generated 40 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. Most recently, in April 2026, there were two tree removal inspection requests submitted to the Streets and Sanitation department, and in March 2026, there was one no water complaint recorded, suggesting potential issues with the property's water supply system. The property has also required yard waste pick-up services in June and May 2026, indicating regular maintenance of outdoor spaces, though the frequency of these requests in such close succession might imply either significant yard work being undertaken or perhaps unusual yard waste accumulations. With a total of 40 service requests over seven years, the building has averaged approximately one service request every two months, with the most concentrated activity occurring in early 2026 involving water services and tree-related concerns.

Risk rating

How 6046 N 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

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
