Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 4435 N Paulina St in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by V & S PROPERTIES LLC, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there are three unresolved building code violations from August 2019, which were generated through complaint-driven inspections. The building's recent history has been marked by multiple pest control challenges, particularly with rodent issues, as evidenced by three consecutive service requests for rodent baiting between March 30 and April 9, 2026. More recent community concerns include a vicious animal complaint and a dead animal pickup request in May 2026, both of which have been resolved. The property has had minimal building permits filed in the past seven years, with only one permit on record, and a total of 16 service requests, suggesting limited proactive maintenance. While some issues have been promptly addressed as indicated by their closed status, the presence of open building violations from 2019 and recent animal-related incidents may warrant attention to the property's upkeep and resident environment.

Risk rating

How 4435 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.
