Montclare, Chicago IL 60707 13311040020000 4 units · 1918

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.

Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 6913 W Grand Ave in the Montclare neighborhood, owned by Mario & Elsa Gamboa, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1918. The most concerning recent pattern of service requests involves multiple "No Water" complaints in January 2026, with four separate reports filed within a week, suggesting a significant and possibly systemic water supply issue during that period. Prior to this water crisis, there were two other service requests in 2025 - one regarding garbage cart maintenance in August and another concerning a pothole in the street in late July, both of which were resolved through proper channels. While the building has maintained relatively few service requests overall (totaling eight in the past seven years), the cluster of water complaints in early 2026 stands out as the most notable event, potentially indicating infrastructure challenges related to the building's age.

Risk rating

How 6913 W Grand 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
18thpercentile
