Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4451 N Rockwell St in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood, owned by David Gleason, has a relatively limited service request history over the past seven years, with only nine recorded incidents. The building, constructed in 1910, has shown consistent maintenance of basic residential needs, though the most recent service requests in June 2026 indicate a cluster of arboreal activity around the property. Currently, there are multiple tree-related matters being addressed, including two tree debris clean-up requests that have been closed, and several open requests for tree planting (1), tree removal inspections (2), and a tree emergency (1) - all suggesting either an imminent or ongoing situation requiring attention to the property's landscaping or adjacent public areas. While the building's overall service request history shows no major concerns prior to this cluster of tree-related incidents, the concentration of open requests regarding trees in June 2026 warrants attention as these issues are currently being evaluated and addressed by city services.

Risk rating

How 4451 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

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.
