Unlock complete reportThe 12-unit residential building at 4738 N Lowell in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, owned by Lowell A & B LLC, has a documented history spanning seven years from 2024 to 2026. This 1927 structure has generated a total of five service requests through the 311 system during this period, with all issues being officially resolved and marked as closed. The most recent incident, recorded in April 2026, concerned an abandoned vehicle complaint.
