Initial analysis

The building at 1104 W Madison St in Chicago's West Loop is a historic five-unit structure built in 1869, currently owned by THE BOX PROPERTIES LLC. The property has experienced several persistent issues in recent years, with 16 building violations and 14 311 service requests recorded over the past seven years. Most concerning are five unresolved periodic routine inspection violations dated June 26, 2025, which represent the most recent and potentially serious compliance issues on record. The building has a history of noise complaints, with two recent incidents in September 2024, one of which was determined to be valid, and additional complaints dating back to 2011, 2006, and 2005. Recent 311 service requests include an open water on street complaint from April 2026, a closed street light outage in July 2025, and a pothole complaint from June 2025. A water lead test kit request from April 2025 also remains open. While there have been two environmental complaints in the past seven years, which is relatively low, the combination of open violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance and safety monitoring challenges that residents should be aware of.

Risk rating

How 1104 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
