Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3820 N Lincoln Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by John & Alloah Losinske, has been standing since 1911 and has generated a relatively low number of service requests over the past seven years. The property has had five documented 311 service requests, all of which have been resolved. The most recent incident, recorded in April 2026, involved a street light outage, while earlier in the same year there was a complaint about a vacant or abandoned building. The building has also required attention for graffiti removal (July 2025), tree trimming (April 2025), and another street light issue (April 2024). Given the dates of these occurrences, it appears there may have been some pattern of maintenance needs in the spring and summer months, particularly related to exterior lighting and environmental upkeep. However, all reported issues have been properly closed out, suggesting responsive management of these concerns, though it's worth noting that the urban environment around the building has experienced periodic maintenance requirements for both public infrastructure (street lights) and the property's immediate surroundings (tree trimming, graffiti).

Risk rating

How 3820 N Lincoln 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.
