Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 115 S Paulina St in the United Center neighborhood, constructed in 1890 and currently owned by 115 S Paulina LLC, has undergone several notable incidents in recent years. The most significant recent event occurred in January 2023, when multiple complaint-driven inspections were conducted, resulting in six building code violations. However, all these violations were promptly resolved, demonstrating the owner's responsiveness to regulatory requirements. Looking ahead, the building has generated multiple 311 service requests, particularly in 2026, with six parking-related enforcement reviews between April and June 2026, all of which have been closed. While these parking-related issues appear to have been resolved, it's worth noting that the building's history shows a total of 10 building violations and 62 service requests over the past seven years, though most of these issues have been documented as resolved. The relatively high number of service requests and violations might indicate ongoing management attention required for various building systems and operations, though the prompt resolution of the 2023 violations suggests some capacity for addressing regulatory concerns.

Risk rating

How 115 S 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.

Neighborhood percentile
