Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 3726 W Montrose Ave in Albany Park, constructed in 1918, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years, primarily in 2024. Most significantly, there were six building code violations recorded in February 2024, though all of these were resolved promptly under complaint-driven inspections. The property has maintained relatively low levels of building permits and violations overall, with only two building permits issued in the seven-year period, which suggests limited recent major structural work or modifications.

Risk rating

How 3726 W Montrose 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.
