Initial analysis

The 62-unit building at 2402 W Madison in Chicago's United Center neighborhood, owned by IDM Services, has a significant number of unresolved issues as of 2025. Most notably, there are six open code violations from November 2025 resulting from a complaint-driven inspection, which indicate ongoing regulatory concerns. In 2026, there have been multiple service requests including three graffiti removal cases and rodent control issues, though some service requests such as Clean and Green Program Requests remain open. The building's history shows a concerning cluster of administrative violations from October 2006, with fines totaling $8,000 across six different code violations, though these appear to be from a past incident rather than current issues. Over the past seven years, the property has recorded a total of 15 building violations and 34 service requests, with the owner (IDM Services) having slightly higher totals of 35 violations and 43 service requests in the same period. Only two building permits have been issued in the last seven years, suggesting limited recent improvements or modifications to the property.

Risk rating

How 2402 W Madison Chicago'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.
