Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2118 W Madison St in the United Center neighborhood was constructed in 2006 and is currently owned by HBM Worldwide LLC. The building has experienced a notable pattern of rodent-related issues in 2025, with three separate rat complaints filed between August 11 and August 31, all of which were closed. More recently, in late 2025, there have been multiple garbage-related service requests, including two garbage cart maintenance issues (one currently open) and a missed garbage pick-up complaint in November 2025. The building's environmental complaint history shows two noise complaints in early 2026, with one being deemed valid and another finding no violation. The property has an earlier historical incident from 2005 involving multiple violations related to illegal dumping, with fines totaling $2,250 across various code violations (7-28-440, 11-4-1500, and 13-32-125/125A), though all these cases were officially closed. The building's 311 service request history over the past seven years includes a total of 13 service requests, while two environmental complaints have been recorded, suggesting that while there are ongoing maintenance and pest control challenges, these issues have been relatively contained within specific areas rather than indicating widespread systemic problems with the building.

Risk rating

How 2118 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.

Neighborhood percentile
64thpercentile
