Initial analysis

The five-unit, three-story building at 3333 N Lincoln Ave in Lake View, built in 1911 and currently owned by CHI 3333 LINCOLN LLC, has experienced several significant events over the past seven years that warrant attention. Of particular concern are two unresolved complaint-driven code violations as of November 2025, which represent the most recent and ongoing issues for the property. The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, with a total of 11 building violations recorded over the past seven years, though some from 2022 were successfully resolved. The property has generated nine 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent being a water-related issue reported in May 2026 that remains open. A notable pattern emerged in early 2025, with multiple graffiti removal requests being filed between January and February, though these were subsequently closed. Additionally, a sewer cleaning inspection request was made and resolved in April 2025. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, it is important to note that there has only been one building permit issued in the past seven years, suggesting limited major construction or renovation activity on the property.

Risk rating

How 3333 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
