Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4820 N Rockwell St in Lincoln Square, owned by Dennis Poulopoulos, is a 1920 vintage structure that has been relatively stable over the past seven years. The property has experienced minimal maintenance and service requests during this period, with only five 311 service requests recorded. These requests have primarily concerned external issues rather than building-specific concerns, including two tree trim requests (both of which are now no longer being accepted), a rodent baiting complaint that has since been resolved, and an out-of-service street light that was corrected. Most recently, there is an open request from April 2026 regarding a tree removal inspection, though it appears this request may be outside the standard building service parameters. The building's permit activity is remarkably low, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years, suggesting either very minimal required maintenance or potentially underreported improvements.

Risk rating

How 4820 N Rockwell 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.
