AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5315 N Paulina St in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood, owned by Michalea Tomaschewsky, was constructed in 1918 and has been the subject of relatively few municipal service requests in recent years. Over the past seven years, there have been four documented 311 service requests associated specifically with the building, including a leak inspection in August 2025, and a sewer cleaning inspection request in July 2024. The property’s location on Paulina Street has necessitated two street-related service requests: a pothole complaint in March 2025 and a street cleaning request in May 2024, though these pertain to the public roadway rather than the building itself. With only five total service requests recorded for the property owner across both the building and street issues, the service request history shows only minor infrastructure-related concerns, with no documented complaints regarding building safety or resident experience issues. The most recent service requests have all been appropriately closed, indicating that reported issues have been addressed through normal municipal processes.

Risk rating

How 5315 N Paulina St 2Nd'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.
