Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4311 N Winchester Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood is a century-old property built in 1909 and currently owned by William T. Kuehl. The building's recent service request history from 2024 to 2026 shows limited issues directly affecting the property itself, with the most concerning being an open request for a water lead test kit as of November 2024, which warrants attention to water quality concerns. The other recorded service requests primarily relate to street maintenance, including two pothole complaints in 2025 and one in early 2026, along with a garbage cart maintenance request in 2025 and an unrelated abandoned vehicle complaint from March 2026. Over the past seven years, the total of five service requests represents minimal engagement with 311 services, suggesting relatively stable building conditions, though the single outstanding lead testing request stands out as a significant pending matter.

Risk rating

How 4311 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

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.
