AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 6046 N Paulina St in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by David S Kato, was constructed in 1901 and has had minimal documented service requests over the past seven years. The building's record shows only four 311 service requests during this period, all of which occurred in the latter half of 2025 and were resolved through standard city closure procedures. These recent incidents included two reports of abandoned vehicles (on October 22 and November 5, 2025) and two complaints about street potholes (on August 6 and December 18, 2025), with the latter pothole complaint being directed to the Department of Transportation and the former to the Department of Streets and Sanitation. While these issues represent typical urban maintenance concerns, none of them directly impact the building's residential conditions or safety, and all were appropriately addressed through city services. The limited number of service requests over this extended period suggests relative stability, though it should be noted that the data only reflects recorded service requests rather than the building's overall condition or management.

Risk rating

How 6046 N Paulina St'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
