AI summary

The four-unit residential building at 4891 N Paulina St in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by Raymond A Lebron, has a recorded history spanning several service requests over the past seven years. The property, constructed in 1917, has recently experienced a notable cluster of infrastructure-related issues in mid-2026, with multiple pothole complaints affecting both the alleyway and street access. Currently, there are three open requests from June and May 2026 regarding tree planting and alley potholes, as well as two April 2026 street pothole complaints that have been resolved. The building's service request history shows relatively few issues overall, with most cases being promptly addressed - including a 2026 abandoned vehicle complaint and a December 2025 report of an injured animal, both of which were closed. The concentration of pothole-related complaints in 2026 suggests some ongoing concerns with roadway maintenance in the immediate vicinity, while the recent requests for tree planting indicate potential interest in neighborhood beautification efforts.

Risk rating

How 4891 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.
