What should I check before moving to Lincoln Village?
Problems here vary block to block, so the neighborhood average won't tell you much about one house. Pest reports are more common here than in most of Columbus. Ask about the building's pest treatment history before you sign. Mold reports are elevated here. Look closely at bathroom ceilings and basement walls when you tour. Before you sign, search the exact address to see what has been reported at that building and on its block.

What should landlords and property owners in Lincoln Village know?
Tenants in this area most often report roach problems and abandoned vehicle problems. Scheduled pest treatment between tenancies prevents the complaints that recur most here.
Is Lincoln Village safe?
This site does not track crime, so it cannot answer that. It tracks what residents report to the city about property and living conditions. Of the 1,798 records for Lincoln Village, 20 are safety complaints such as gas leaks, exposed wiring, or missing smoke detectors. For crime data, use the Columbus Division of Police. For one specific address, run a Block Report.
Know Your Block is a free public tool that shows what Columbus residents report to the city's code enforcement office: rats, mold, no heat, sewage backups, drug activity, noise, vacant buildings, and the other property and quality-of-life problems that a listing or a tour will not tell you about — the stuff Zillow and Apartments.com don't show. The live map plots every report in the city, and a Block Report checks one address, the building it sits in, and the block around it. This page and the other neighborhood pages are computed from the same records, so the numbers here match what you would find on the map. There is no account and no fee. More about the project.
Data comes from official City of Columbus code enforcement records (Accela portal + ArcGIS REST API). Comparison figures are computed against the full citywide dataset; "above the citywide rate" means a category's share of complaints in this neighborhood is higher than its share citywide. Complaints are reports filed with the city — they may be unverified, resolved, or in dispute. Categories are assigned by automated keyword matching and may include mismatches. Individual property records are surfaced through search, not listed on this page.
