Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4849 N Seeley Ave in Lincoln Square, constructed in 1901, is currently facing some administrative challenges as of January 2024. The property, owned by 4849 SEELEY LL, has one unresolved building code violation resulting from a complaint-driven inspection in January 2024, representing the only building violation recorded in the past seven years. The building's service request history is relatively minimal, consisting of three 311 service requests over the past seven years. These include a yard waste pick-up request (currently open as of June 2026), a closed information-only call to 311 in January 2025, and a successfully resolved request for a blue recycling cart in May 2024. Given the age of the building, it's noteworthy that there are no recorded violations related to structural or safety concerns, though the open building code violation and yard waste pick-up request may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 4849 N Seeley 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

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
