Initial analysis

The property at 2751 N Lincoln Ave is a two-unit building located in the Sheffield & DePaul neighborhood, constructed in 1889 and currently owned by Amy Karraker. The building's recent history reveals some concerning patterns, particularly in 2025, when there were multiple sanitation-related issues, including two documented sanitation code violations, two sanitation complaints, and both rodent and nuisance animal issues, though most of these were marked as closed. Most recently, there were two permit-related inspections in September 2023, both of which have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 2751 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
67thpercentile

Out of 403 buildings in this neighborhood, 133 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
