Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 1929 building at 2500 N Monitor in Chicago's Belmont Cragin neighborhood, currently owned by Mladen Buljan, has experienced several notable incidents and service requests over the past seven years. Most concerning are two unresolved building code violations from 2022 and 2020 respectively, both of which were initiated through complaint-driven inspections. The property has also generated 17 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026, including two pet wellness check requests and a tree planting request, all of which remain open. Of particular interest is a cluster of three building violation reports filed on March 11, 2026, though these requests have since been marked as closed. The building's documented history shows a pattern of unresolved issues, particularly regarding building code violations, though some recent activity appears to be more related to community services rather than direct building concerns.

Risk rating

How 2500 N Monitor Chicago'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.
