Initial analysis

The 4041 N Paulina St property is a two-unit building located in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Gabriel Burgos Jr. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of nine service requests to the Chicago 311 system. The most concerning pattern in the recent history of this property involves recurring rodent issues, with two rat complaints filed in early 2026 and no noticeable improvement in this ongoing problem. The building has also required several maintenance services, including two yard waste pick-up requests and one tree debris clean-up request in mid-2025. The property has had minimal service requests overall, but the repeated nature of pest control needs - with at least three distinct requests related to yard waste management - suggests periodic challenges with waste management and pest control in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 4041 N 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
