Unlock complete reportThe 21-unit residential building at 4516 N Wolcott in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood is a 93-year-old property currently owned by 4516 N WOLCOTT LLC. The building's recent maintenance and safety record shows a mix of open and closed issues, with the most pressing concern being an unresolved periodic routine inspection violation recorded in September 2024. Recent service requests indicate ongoing attention to building conditions, including a water lead test kit request from October 2024, which remains open as of October 2023. The property has experienced various maintenance and safety concerns over the past seven years, including a plumbing violation (March 2025), a building violation (December 2024), an inspect public way request (December 2024), and a rodent baiting complaint (April 2026), all of which have been resolved except for the most recent inspection violation. The building's location and age suggest potential infrastructure challenges, though the relatively low number of violations and service requests over the past seven years might indicate routine maintenance procedures are generally being followed.
