Initial analysis

The 56-unit residential building at 1220 W Madison in Chicago's West Loop, owned by RSRC JV MOD LLC and constructed in 2010, has experienced several significant events over its recent history. Most notably, there are currently two open building code violations from March 2026 related to periodic routine inspections, marking the first unresolved violations in the building's recent record. The property has had a total of six building code violations over the past seven years, with four being successfully resolved through compliance during a November 2019 inspection. The building has generated 23 service requests through the 311 system in the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of issues in early 2026 including complaints about air conditioning, public way conditions, and a restaurant complaint, though all of these have been closed. Environmental matters include one founded complaint from 2015 regarding construction site cleanliness that resulted in a $200 fine, and a more recent 2025 air pollution complaint that was investigated but not substantiated.

Risk rating

How 1220 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.

Neighborhood percentile
14thpercentile
