Initial analysis

The 52-unit residential building at 4700 N Winchester in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood has a history dating back to 1922 and is currently owned by Southport Ave Properti. Over the past seven years, the building has maintained a relatively low number of documented issues, with only one recorded building code violation and 13 service requests through the city's 311 system. However, the most recent building code violation from September 2024 remains unresolved, and there are two open building violation requests from May 2026 that warrant attention. The property has experienced various maintenance and safety-related incidents, including a bee/wasp removal in March 2025, graffiti that required removal in April 2026, and a water lead test kit request in October 2024, all of which have been addressed. While the number of violations and service requests is not excessively high for a building of this age, the presence of multiple open violation requests, particularly the recent ones from 2024 and 2026, suggests ongoing maintenance concerns that should be monitored.

Risk rating

How 4700 N Winchester 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.
