Initial analysis

The 68-unit, 1923 Lincoln Park building at 508 W Fullerton, currently owned by 860 Dewitt Ltd P S, has experienced a range of issues and complaints over recent years. The most significant recent cluster of concerns occurred between April and June 2026, with six service requests, including matters such as sanitation violations, an e-scooter parking complaint, tree emergency, fly dumping, graffiti removal, and a sign repair request - with one sign repair request still showing as open. The building's documented history shows some regulatory oversight, with two periodic routine inspection violations recorded and subsequently resolved in June 2021. The property's record shows a total of 68 service requests and 9 environmental complaints over the past seven years, while the ownership group has maintained relative stability with three total parcels under ownership. It's worth noting that while the building has had its share of maintenance and compliance issues, the majority of recent service requests appear to be external to the building itself, relating more to street-level concerns in the immediate vicinity rather than structural or internal building problems.

Risk rating

How 508 W Fullerton 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.

Neighborhood percentile
3rdpercentile
