Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3612 W Diversey Ave in Avondale, owned by Pablo Vargas Jr., has been standing since 1903 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. The property currently has two open service requests from mid-2026: one regarding rodent issues and another concerning sewer cleaning inspections, both of which suggest persistent sanitation challenges. The building's service record from the past seven years shows a total of six service requests, with four of these issues now resolved, including a closed rodent baiting complaint from November 2024, a graffiti removal request from October 2025, and a missed garbage pick-up complaint from September 2025. Additionally, there was a dead animal pick-up request from September 2024 that has been closed. The repeated nature of rodent-related complaints, with two such instances recorded between 2024 and 2026, particularly stands out as a potential concern for current and prospective tenants.

Risk rating

How 3612 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

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.
