Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 3832 W Monroe St in Garfield Park, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Fulcrum Industries LLC, has recorded 10 building violations and 2 permits over the past seven years, with one tree trimming service request from 2026 (which is no longer being accepted) that has been closed. Notably, there was a cluster of six complaint-driven inspections on August 29, 2023, which all have been resolved and marked as complied. While the building has had some regulatory scrutiny, particularly evident from the recent violation history, it's worth noting that all identified issues from the August 2023 inspections were promptly addressed according to the available records. The building's permit history shows minimal recorded modifications or improvements over this period, with only two permits on file.

Risk rating

How 3832 W Monroe St'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
