Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The property at 1950 N Lincoln Ave is a 4-unit residential building located in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood. Built in 1911, the building is currently owned by C Smith & N Kouri and has a single parcel of land associated with its ownership. The building's service request history over the past seven years shows a total of six documented 311 calls, all of which were made in 2026. Notably, every single one of these requests is related to e-scooter parking complaints, with records showing multiple complaints filed on the same day (May 31, 2026) as well as individual complaints on March 21, 2026, and April 20, 2026. All these complaints have been marked as closed, though the resolution details are not specified in the available data. While the frequency of complaints regarding the same issue might suggest some ongoing concern in the neighborhood, it's important to note that the building's service request history shows no other types of complaints or service requests in the previous seven years, and the complaints are all related to external e-scooter parking issues rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1950 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
40thpercentile

Out of 579 buildings in this neighborhood, 347 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
