Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 three-unit residential building at 4645 N Broadway St in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by Steve J Madjar and constructed in 1908, has shown significant recent activity in 2026, particularly in the spring months. Between April and May 2026, there were multiple service requests addressed to the building, including two separate dead bird incidents, two rodent-related complaints, a fly dumping complaint, and a graffiti removal request - all of which have been closed. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows a total of 40 service requests and only two building permits, suggesting minimal recent construction activity. While the service requests have been properly addressed through closure, the concentration of various environmental and maintenance issues in spring 2026 is noteworthy. The property consists of a single parcel as listed in the official records.

Risk rating

How 4645 N Broadway 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.
