Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4501 N Artesian Ave in Lincoln Square is a century-old property built in 1913 and currently owned by John Alesi. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of seven 311 service requests, with most of the recent activity clustered around mid-2024. Notably, there have been multiple instances of graffiti requiring removal in August 2024, two separate incidents within a single week. The property has also experienced tree-related issues, with a removal inspection requested in May 2024, followed by both emergency response and debris clean-up related to tree matters in the following year. Additionally, there was a garbage cart maintenance request recorded in July 2024. While all service requests have been documented as closed, the pattern of recent maintenance issues suggests a period of increased attention to property conditions during 2024-2026, with most incidents appearing to be related to exterior maintenance and neighborhood environmental factors rather than internal building issues.

Risk rating

How 4501 N Artesian 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
