Code Violations & Distressed Property Leads (Chicago, NYC, Detroit)

Find distressed properties from official city enforcement data, normalized into one table:

  • Chicago: Department of Buildings violations (open violations, inspector comments)
  • New York City: HPD housing maintenance code violations (class A/B/C, open status, BBL)
  • Detroit: blight tickets (ordinance, balance due, property owner name and mailing address, parcel ID)

All data comes from the cities' official open-data portals (data.cityofchicago.org, data.cityofnewyork.us, City of Detroit ArcGIS open data).

Who uses this

  • Real estate investors and wholesalers: properties with open violations or unpaid blight fines are classic motivated-seller signals.
  • Contractors (masonry, roofing, plumbing, heating, demolition): owners who must fix cited problems.
  • Property managers and lenders: monitor portfolio or collateral addresses.
  • Journalists and researchers: housing-conditions analysis.

Notes

Data appears as published by each city and may lag, be corrected, or contain errors. A violation is not proof of distress. Verify before acting, and follow fair-housing and marketing laws (TCPA, CAN-SPAM). Not legal advice.
