Initial analysis

The property at 1037 N Paulina St 1 in the East Village is a three-unit residential building constructed in 1898 and currently owned by Sophie J Augustine. The building's record over the past seven years shows a pattern of unresolved periodic routine inspection violations as of April 2025, with seven such violations recorded on the same date. This persistent issue of open violations is notable for its potential impact on resident safety and building maintenance. The 311 service request history reveals various quality-of-life concerns in the vicinity, including multiple graffiti incidents (with four reports between April and June 2026, all closed) and a rodent-related complaint in April 2026, though these external issues may not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions. There is currently one open sidewalk inspection request from April 2026, indicating a potential infrastructure concern in the immediate area. While the building's violation and service request history should be monitored, it is important to note that some of these issues could reflect broader neighborhood conditions rather than specific building problems.

Risk rating

How 1037 N Paulina St 1'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.
