Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 3112 W Cermak Rd in Little Village, owned by Ezequiel Mendez, has been standing since 1901 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. The building has five unresolved building code violations from 2019, including multiple complaint-driven inspections and periodic routine inspections conducted in July and August of that year. While these violations remain open, it is worth noting that the building had only one permitted modification in the past seven years, which might indicate limited maintenance or upgrades to the structure. More recently, there have been two 311 service requests in 2025, including a plumbing violation and a request for a blue recycling cart, both of which have been closed. The property's record shows considerable activity under the owner's name across two parcels, with a total of 16 service requests registered across these records since 2017, though the majority of these requests have been resolved. The open violations from 2019, however, represent the most significant ongoing concern within the building's documented history.

Risk rating

How 3112 W Cermak Rd'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.
