Initial analysis

The 17-unit, 1926 residential building at 4808 N Paulina in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, currently owned by Winick Property Development, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of incidents occurring in early 2025. The property has generated a total of seven service requests through the 311 system in this period, including three separate reports of abandoned vehicles on January 30, 2025, and a building violation reported in February 2025, both of which have since been closed. An e-scooter parking complaint was filed and resolved in June 2025. Of particular concern is an open sidewalk inspection request filed in August 2024, which suggests an ongoing issue with pedestrian access or infrastructure that has yet to be addressed. The frequency of abandoned vehicle complaints encountered by this address, while not directly related to the building's condition, may indicate parking management challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 4808 N Paulina Chicago'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.
