Initial analysis

The seven-unit residential building at 2735 N Lincoln in Chicago's Sheffield & DePaul neighborhood is a 1909 vintage structure currently owned by Dr. Spiros Stamelos. The building's record over the past seven years shows relatively few pressing issues, with three building violations and 26 service requests recorded. All three building code violations recorded in April 2023 were routine periodic inspections and have been resolved. The property has experienced a notable increase in service requests in 2026, with five graffiti removal requests, a wage complaint, and a paid sick leave violation, though the latter two complaints are not directly related to building conditions. The most significant historical issue on record is an air pollution complaint from 1999, representing the only environmental complaint in the past 24 years. The building's permit activity shows minimal intervention, with only one permit issued in the past seven years, and while the total of 91 service requests associated with the owner is high, it should be noted that this figure encompasses multiple properties under their ownership. The relatively limited number of building violations and resolved inspection issues suggests that major safety concerns are not currently present, though the recent spate of service requests in 2026 warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 2735 N Lincoln 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.
