Field notes
The page separates complaints, violations, vacant-property registrations, and permit records rather than treating them as interchangeable measures. It notes that one property can generate multiple complaints, that complaint ZIP codes come from the complaint record, and that a vacant-property listing is a snapshot—not a count of homes empty on a given day.
