Violation File: a proposed building-violation report
Violation File is a planned New York City service that would combine DOB, ECB and HPD violation records—including fines, resolution status and trends—into an address-based report.
- For
- New York City building buyers and property managers
- Worth noticing
- Its sample combines DOB, ECB and HPD entries, but is explicitly labeled a fictional concept illustration.
Field notes
The proposed workflow starts with a New York City address, then combines DOB, ECB and HPD filings with fine amounts, resolution status and multi-year trend charts. The page also describes watched-building alerts and white-label reports for portfolio subscribers; these are product claims, not demonstrated capabilities. Its illustrated sample includes permit, facade, heat-and-hot-water and lead-paint entries, and is explicitly marked fictional.
