Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 4201 N Paulina St 2B in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by Jeffrey Rohalla, was constructed in 1963 and has remained under single ownership with one recorded parcel. Over the past seven years, the building has had minimal documented activity, with only one building permit on record, suggesting relatively low recent renovation or maintenance activity. Notably, there was an environmental complaint regarding asbestos in 2013, though this complaint was determined to be invalid and resolved by October 21 of that year. Given that no additional complaints or permit activity have been recorded in the past decade, and considering the age of the building, interested parties may wish to inquire further about the property's maintenance history and current condition, while noting that the single historical complaint was found to be without merit.

Risk rating

How 4201 N Paulina St 2B'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.
