Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3454 N Lincoln Ave in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by HOLDING RK LLC, has been recorded with 22 service requests over the past seven years, with all but one being related to graffiti removal. The property, which dates back to 1908, experienced a notable cluster of graffiti incidents in May 2026, with six separate removal requests filed between May 21 and June 2 of that year. Prior to this recent surge, there was one additional graffiti removal request made in March 2026. The frequency of these graffiti incidents in such a concentrated timeframe suggests this property, or its immediate vicinity, has experienced recurring issues with vandalism. While all service requests on record have been closed, the building's relatively low number of total service requests (22) over seven years, aside from this recent graffiti pattern, indicates that other maintenance or resident experience issues may not be as pressing, though it's worth noting that buildings of this age typically require ongoing maintenance and upkeep.

Risk rating

How 3454 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
53rdpercentile
