Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5069 W Madison St in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Ahmad Ihmud, has experienced several concerning issues in recent months. Most notably, there are currently four open, unresolved violation cases as of July 2024, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections. This marks a significant pattern of ongoing regulatory concerns. The building's recent history also includes three service requests to 311 in 2024, two of which were resolved: one related to a building violation in May and another concerning plumbing issues earlier that same month. A consumer fraud complaint was filed and closed in January 2025. The property, constructed in 1925, has maintained the same ownership structure with a single parcel recorded, and has experienced a total of four building code violations and three service requests over the past seven years. While the building has received three permits during this period, the combination of multiple open violations and recent service requests suggests potential ongoing maintenance or compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 5069 W Madison St'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.
