Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4527 N Seeley Ave in Lincoln Square, owned by Daniel Orna, has a notable history dating back to its construction in 1893. The property has generated a total of 45 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of activities occurring between mid-May and early June 2026. This recent period shows a concentrated focus on tree-related maintenance, with two tree trim requests and one tree removal inspection currently pending resolution. The building's environmental safety oversight is also being addressed, as evidenced by a closed water lead test kit request in late May 2026. Prior to this cluster of requests, the property has maintained a relatively consistent pattern of service calls, though the specific nature of these previous requests is not detailed in the provided data. The ongoing nature of the current requests suggests active property management engagement with municipal services, particularly regarding environmental and landscaping maintenance issues.

Risk rating

How 4527 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

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.
