Initial analysis

The six-unit building at 4650 N Paulina St in Uptown, owned by Nick and Aspasa Vogdanos, has a documented history spanning several concerning issues over the past seven years. Most notably, there are six recent unresolved building code violations as of November 15, 2023, all of which resulted from complaint-driven inspections. The property has experienced recurring issues with trees, as evidenced by multiple service requests between 2025 and 2026, including two tree emergencies, a tree debris clean-up, and a tree planting request, with at least two of these requests still pending resolution. In 2025, there was one instance of fly dumping on the property that resulted in a closed complaint, as well as an air pollution complaint that was investigated but found to have no violations. The building's permit history shows only two permits were filed in the past seven years, with one of those related to a no building permit and construction violation issue that was ultimately resolved. While the building's age of 100 years is significant, what stands out most from the records is the recent cluster of unresolved building code violations, which represents the most immediate concern regarding resident safety and maintenance.

Risk rating

How 4650 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

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

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

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

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

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

Neighborhood percentile
