Unlock complete reportThe 10-unit residential building at 1049 N Paulina in Chicago's East Village neighborhood, owned by Paulina LLC, has a recorded history spanning several decades with varying degrees of maintenance and safety concerns. Most notably, in 2022, the building underwent six complaint-driven inspections that resulted in code violations, though all were subsequently resolved. More recent records show multiple service requests between late 2025 and 2026, including a rodent complaint, sanitation violation, and two separate requests for graffiti removal, all of which have been closed. The building has had limited recent issues with just two service requests in 2026, pertaining to a tree emergency and water on the street. Looking further back, the building experienced environmental concerns in the late 1990s, with three documented complaints regarding asbestos and air pollution between 1997 and 1998. While the property has had 16 building violations and 21 service requests over the past seven years, it's worth noting that all recent building code violations from 2022 were complied with and resolved promptly.

How 1049 N Paulina Chicago'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.
