Initial analysis

The eight-unit residential building at 3723 W Cermak in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, owned by 3723 W Cermak LLC, has recorded several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, as of April 2024, there are three unresolved complaint-driven building code violations that remain open. These violations, recorded on the same date, collectively suggest significant ongoing concerns that warrant attention. The building's service request history reveals some infrastructure-related issues, including two fire hydrant complaints in June 2024 (one of which was directed to the Department of Transportation), and an alley pothole complaint in October 2025, all of which were subsequently closed. Additionally, there were two reports of abandoned vehicles in April 2025 and a graffiti removal request in May 2025, though these exterior issues are more related to the neighborhood than the building itself. The most pressing concern appears to be the recent building code violations, which, given their open status and proximity to the date of this report, represent the most significant current challenge for the property.

Risk rating

How 3723 W Cermak Chicago'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.
