Looks like the owner of the pin is JHM Hotels Inc, per this article from a couple years ago:

Last year, JHM Hotels paid $4.1 million for a, 11,700-square-foot parcel at 150 N. Jefferson St. near the Ogilvie Transportation Center in Chicago’s West Loop, where it plans to build a boutique hotel.
Maybe because they are a large corporation, the City of Chicago doesn’t want to tell them to follow the law and make the sidewalk passable.
I filed a report with the City’s 311 service on 2/6/15
Thank you for submitting your Snow – Uncleared Sidewalk service request on February 06, 2015.
no response as of yet, I still see pedestrians falling down, trying to navigate this block.
