Environmental complaints received by the Department of Environment (DOE) from January 1993 to December 31, 2011 and by the Department of Public Health (CDPH) since January 1, 2012.

DOE complaint types that had no matches are designated as “Other.” MAPPED LOCATION: Contains latitude/longitude coordinates of the site as determined through the Chicago Open Data Portal’s geocoding engine. In instances where the facility address is a range, the lower number (the value in the “Street Number From” column) is used for geocoding. For example, for the range address 1000-1005 S Wabash Ave, the Mapped Location would be the coordinates for 1000 S Wabash Ave. INSPECTOR: Contains the badge or ID number of the inspector or engineer who conducted the compliant inspection. COMPLAINT DATE: Date complaint was received by the department. COMPLAINT DETAIL: Brief description of the nature of the complaint.

If a vehicle is towed it remains as open, work in progress until it is redeemed, transferred or disposed of. The service request is not closed until there is a final disposition for the vehicle. Requests that have been labeled as Duplicates are in the same geographic area and have been entered into 311 Customer Service Requests (CSR) system at around the same time as a previous request. Duplicate reports/requests are labeled as such in the Status field, as either "Open - Dup" or "Completed - Dup." Data is updated daily.
