Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 7931 S Paulina St in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood has been under the ownership of Jamie Webster since its construction in 1919. The property currently faces four unresolved building code violations as of July 2023, all stemming from the same date and categorized under complaint-driven inspections. These recent violations are particularly noteworthy given their recent nature and unresolved status, though the specific nature of the violations is not detailed in the available records. The building's violation history shows minimal activity over the past seven years, with no documented violations between the period of 2016-2022, and only one 311 service request during this timeframe - a tree removal inspection request from September 2025, which also remains open. Looking further back, there was an environmental complaint regarding air pollution recorded in 2002. While the building has clearly had very few documented issues over the past two decades, particularly prior to 2023, the recent cluster of unresolved violations warrants attention as the most significant recent event in the building's history.

Risk rating

How 7931 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
25thpercentile
