Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3112 W Diversey Ave in Avondale, owned by Eric P Griffin, is a 127-year-old structure that has recorded five 311 service requests over the past seven years, with all issues having been resolved. The most recent concerns have primarily involved graffiti, with three documented removal requests in 2024 alone (one in March, one in September) and another in April 2026, suggesting a recurring maintenance challenge related to building exterior upkeep. Additionally, in August 2024, there was a rodent-related incident requiring baiting measures, indicating possible pest control issues at that time. The only infrastructure-related complaint in the record was filed in April 2024 regarding a street pothole, which was addressed by the Streets and Sanitation department, though this was an external infrastructure issue rather than a building-specific concern. While the relatively low number of service requests over the seven-year period is notable for a building of this age, the concentration of recent issues in 2024 particularly regarding graffiti and pest control may suggest emerging challenges related to building maintenance and neighborhood conditions.

Risk rating

How 3112 W Diversey Ave'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

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.
