Initial analysis

The four-unit building at 1832 N Lincoln Park West in Old Town, built in 1910 and currently owned by Alan T Lougee, has experienced several notable incidents and service requests over the past seven years, with particular concentration in 2023. Most significantly, there were three environmental complaints in 2023 alone, including a construction and demolition complaint in September, a hazardous materials complaint in August, and an air pollution incident in June (though the latter was found to lack merit). The building's service request history shows a relatively low number of serious issues, with only two building violations recorded in the past seven years. The property has generated 22 service requests through the 311 system in recent years, with the majority being routine maintenance issues such as garbage cart maintenance and yard waste pick-up requests. Two building permits were issued to the owner during this period, one of which was the subject of a permit violation complaint in June 2026. The frequency of service requests and environmental complaints appears to be increasing over time, with multiple tree-related service requests recorded in September 2025 and several recent complaints regarding construction and hazardous materials in 2023.

Risk rating

How 1832 N Lincoln Park West'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
24thpercentile
