Lake View, Chicago IL 60657 14194160210000 6 units · 1914

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 3407 N Paulina St in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by Daniel Latino, has been in operation since 1914. The property has experienced a notable increase in graffiti-related incidents over the past two years, with four reported instances in late 2025 and one in summer 2024. Additionally, there have been two complaints regarding sidewalk café/outdoor dining issues in 2024, suggesting some concerns about public space management in the vicinity. The building's service request history is relatively modest overall, with only six 311 service requests recorded in the past seven years. The property, which includes eight total parcels under the owner's name, has had limited building permit activity in recent years, with just one permit issued in the past seven years. While there was one noise complaint filed in 1993, this appears to be the only historical environmental issue on record for the property.

Risk rating

How 3407 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.
