Unlock complete reportThe three-story, 15-unit building at 4552 N Western Avenue in Lincoln Square was constructed in 1916 and is currently owned by NAY LLC. The building's record over the past seven years shows relatively few major issues, with only one building code violation recorded during this period, though notably, this current violation remains unresolved as of September 2023. The property has generated 16 service requests through the city's 311 system over the same timeframe, with most recent activity including an open building violation complaint from April 2026 and an unresolved tree planting request from July 2025. Historical records indicate a single environmental enforcement case from 1998, which resulted in a $100 fine related to a code violation that was ultimately dismissed. Other documented 311 requests from recent years include a closed pothole complaint and a closed graffiti removal request in 2025, along with a building violation complaint that received resolution on August 14, 2025. While the building has experienced some issues requiring municipal attention, the frequency and nature of violations suggests relatively typical maintenance challenges for an older, multi-unit building, with most issues being successfully resolved through normal channels.

How 4552 N Western Chicago'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

Out of 2578 buildings in this neighborhood, 2526 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
