Violation File is the building violation history database. Pull any building's complete DOB and ECB violation record: fine amounts, resolution status, and multi-year trends, processed out of raw city records into one readable report.
Launching soon. Early access members get their first building report free.
City violation records exist. Reading them does not have to be your job.
Type any New York City building address. We match it to its violation records across DOB, ECB, and HPD filings in seconds.
Get the full violation history: every filing, the fine amount attached, whether it was resolved, and what is still open against the building.
Multi-year charts show whether violations are rising or falling. A building with 2 violations is not the same as a building with 12 this year.
Add buildings to your watchlist. When a new violation is filed against anything you monitor, you get an alert before it becomes a penalty.
Every filing, the fine, and where it stands. Trend charts show the building's direction over time.
Concept illustration. Address and data are fictional. Product in development.
One hidden open violation can cost thousands in fines or stall a deal. The record is public. Reading it is the hard part.
Buyers get the full violation record before the offer goes in: open violations, unpaid fines, and the trend behind them. Surprises belong in the report, not in the closing.
Raw city records show filings. Violation File shows whether a building's violations are rising, falling, or flat over multiple years, which is the part no city website answers.
Monitor subscribers get alerted when a new violation is filed against any watched building. Catch it at filing and it is a correction. Catch it at penalty and it is a fine.
Every violation shows its resolution status. Know exactly which items are still hanging over the property and which were resolved and paid.
Building X-Ray is the building profile. Violation File is the violation deep-dive. Together they cover the building from two angles, from the same team.
Portfolio subscribers white-label violation reports for owner clients and deal packets. Clean, professional, and built from public records, ready to share.
One caught violation covers the year. Annual plans are two months free.
Early access members lock founding pricing and get their first building report free.

Public city records. Violation File processes NYC Open Data filings from the Department of Buildings, the Environmental Control Board, and Housing Preservation and Development, matching them to buildings and building multi-year histories. It is public data, cleaned and made readable.
The ingest pipeline refreshes weekly, and Monitor subscribers get new-filing alerts as records land. We hold a freshness standard: the dataset is never more than two weeks behind the city's published records.
Every DOB and ECB violation on record for the building: filing date, violation type, fine amount, resolution status, plus multi-year trend charts showing how the building's violation history is moving.
Building X-Ray is the building profile: the broad picture of a property. Violation File is the violation deep-dive: the complete fine and violation history with trends and alerts. They are companion products from the same team, and many customers use both.
No. Violation File presents processed public records for due diligence and monitoring. It is not legal advice, and it does not replace your attorney or compliance counsel.
Report buyers can share their own purchased report. Portfolio subscribers get white-labeled owner reports designed for deal packets and client reporting.
