Initial analysis

The property at 3435 S Paulina St in Chicago's McKinley Park neighborhood is a two-unit building constructed in 1884, currently owned by Benjamin L Pintor. The building's documented history over the past seven years (noting that some dates appear to be future-dated errors in the original data) shows a recurring pattern of tree-related service requests, with three tree debris clean-up requests filed in July 2025 and one open tree planting request from February 2025, as well as a tree emergency reported in April 2024, all of which have been properly closed by city services. Of particular note is a sanitation code violation recorded in July 2024, while two tree clean-up requests from June 2026 and July 2025 have been processed through the Streets and Sanitation department. The building's service request history suggests ongoing attention to vegetation management around the property, with multiple tree-related issues requiring municipal intervention.

Risk rating

How 3435 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
64thpercentile
