Initial analysis

The six-unit building at 3013 W Cermak Rd in Little Village, owned by Enrique Espinosa, was constructed in 1914 and has experienced some notable issues over recent years. Most concerning are the two unresolved periodic routine inspection violations recorded in August 2025, which suggest ongoing regulatory compliance issues that remain outstanding. The property has documented four 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent incidents occurring between March and April 2026, all related to graffiti removal, though these have been properly closed out. A building violation was also recorded and subsequently closed in April 2025, indicating at least some responsiveness to regulatory matters. The ownership records show three total building violations, 14 service requests, and one building permit in the past seven years, suggesting relatively modest levels of building activity and violations compared to some properties of similar age and size. The combined history of routine inspection violations and graffiti removal requests suggests attention to building maintenance and security could require attention, though the closed status of most service requests indicates some level of responsiveness to these issues.

Risk rating

How 3013 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.
