Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1915 vintage building at 5015 N Winchester Ave in Lincoln Square, currently owned by CTLTC, has generated a notable number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling 31 requests. A significant pattern of activity has emerged in recent years, particularly in 2025, when seven yard waste pick-up requests were made between October and November, suggesting frequent waste management needs or maintenance activity on the property. A potentially concerning health and safety issue was addressed in October 2025 with a closed rodent baiting/rat complaint, though no further information on resolution is provided. The only environmental complaint on record involved a construction and demolition issue in 2020, which was referred to the Streets and Sanitation department and resolved by April 2020. It's worth noting that all recorded service requests have been closed, indicating response to and resolution of the reported issues, though the nature and effectiveness of the resolutions, particularly regarding the rodent complaint, is not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 5015 N Winchester 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.
