Initial analysis

The 24-unit residential building at 4008 N Lincoln, located in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, was constructed in 2023 and is currently owned by Sewickley LLC301. The building's record over the past seven years shows multiple regulatory interactions, particularly during 2022 when there was significant scrutiny regarding construction site cleanliness, with five separate violations recorded under the city's construction site cleanliness code (11-4-765), resulting in proposed fines totaling $3,000, though the final resolution status on three of these remains open. The property has undergone periodic routine inspections, with all four violations recorded in November 2025 successfully resolved, though there is one unresolved violation from June 2024.

Risk rating

How 4008 N Lincoln Chicago'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.
