Initial analysis

The property at 6101 W Montrose Ave in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood is a two-unit commercial building, constructed in 1955 and currently owned by Mitchell Moore, with records showing ownership of two parcels. The building's documented service request history spans from 2001 to 2026, encompassing 39 total service requests across both parcels, though only five of these requests were directly related to the building itself over the past seven years. The most recent service requests between 2025-2026 have primarily involved municipal infrastructure issues rather than building-specific problems, including three abandoned vehicle complaints, a city vehicle sticker violation, an open fire hydrant, and an uncleared sidewalk during winter.

Risk rating

How 6101 W Montrose Ave Comm'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.
