Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3518 W Diversey Ave in the Avondale neighborhood, owned by 3518 W DIVERSY LLC, is a 1911 structure that has recently experienced a concerning pattern of rodent-related issues. Between April and June 2025, three separate rodent baiting/rat complaints were filed with 311 City Services, all of which have been officially closed. These complaints constitute the building's entire documented service request history over the past seven years, suggesting that while the property has had one specific recurring issue, there have been no other reported problems or service calls during this period. The cluster of rodent complaints in spring 2025, occurring in close succession, indicates a potentially persistent pest management challenge that was addressed through city services, though it is noteworthy that no further complaints were recorded after June 2025.

Risk rating

How 3518 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.
