Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 1917 vintage building at 3614 N Paulina St in Lake View, currently owned by HOWL SERIES LLC 3614, presents several concerning issues as of late 2023. The property has an active record of building code violations, including four unresolved complaints from September 2023, and a pending periodic routine inspection violation from December 2023. While the building has typically required minimal intervention over recent years, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years, the current wave of violation activity suggests heightened regulatory scrutiny.

Risk rating

How 3614 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.
