West Loop, Chicago IL 60607 17172000110000 5 units · 1932

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 1141 W Madison St in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood, owned by Red Sky Capital, was constructed in 1932 and has maintained a relatively low record of service requests and permits over the past seven years. The building's documented history reveals very minimal maintenance or regulatory activity, with only one building permit filed during this period. The majority of service requests, totaling nine, have been related to street conditions rather than building-specific issues, with multiple reports of potholes in the street (five complaints between 2025 and 2026) and one request for street light inspection in May 2025. While these infrastructure issues have been consistently addressed through closed status reports, they primarily relate to municipal rather than building concerns. The only recorded environmental complaint from December 2005 pertains to noise, which is outside the seven-year window of current documentation but may still be of historical interest.

Risk rating

How 1141 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
