AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5512 N Paulina St in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood, owned by Anne M Donohue, has been part of the local property landscape since its construction in 1906. The property has generated six service requests to the 311 system over the past seven years, with all incidents being resolved and marked as closed. A notable pattern emerges in winter months, as evidenced by two snow-related complaints in late 2025 regarding uncleared sidewalks, though these were subsequently addressed. The building has also had three yard waste pick-up requests between spring and fall of 2025, which are routine municipal services. December 2025 marked a significant moment for the property, with both a building violation and a second snow-related complaint being filed simultaneously, though both cases were eventually resolved. The service request history suggests regular maintenance activities, with yard waste management being the most frequently requested service, comprising half of all documented 311 interactions.

Risk rating

How 5512 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.
