Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 4708 N Maplewood Ave 1st in Lincoln Square is a 1906 property currently held in trust by Mark E Bookman. The building's record over the past seven years shows minimal health and safety concerns, with only one building violation recorded during this period - an unresolved periodic routine inspection violation from September 2024. The property has generated a total of 46 service requests to the city, with the most recent cluster of issues appearing in 2026, including two street light outages, a tree emergency, and two dead animal pickup requests. Notably, there was an abandoned vehicle complaint in June 2026 that was resolved. Looking further back, the building had two recorded air pollution complaints in 2004 and 2005, though these appear to be isolated incidents from nearly two decades ago.

Risk rating

How 4708 N Maplewood Ave 1St'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
15thpercentile
