Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 3237 W Cermak Rd in Little Village, owned by Adolfo A Diaz, was constructed in 2005 and has demonstrated a pattern of requiring maintenance to its waste management systems. Over the past seven years, there have been several 311 service requests related to garbage cart maintenance, with three submissions in 2025 alone, plus additional requests for fly dumping and abandoned vehicle complaints - all of which have been resolved. The building's environmental history shows a significant cluster of air pollution work order complaints in 2006, with six reported incidents within that year. The property has faced two environmental enforcement actions, including a notable case in October 2021 resulting in a $1,000 liability plea, and an earlier incident from 2013 related to process equipment operation instructions, though this was ultimately dismissed with no fines. The building's documented issues are primarily related to waste management and environmental compliance, with no recorded safety violations that would impact resident safety. While many of the older environmental issues appear to have been addressed, the frequency of recent garbage cart maintenance requests suggests ongoing challenges with waste management systems at the property.

Risk rating

How 3237 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.

Neighborhood percentile
24thpercentile
