Unresolved building violations can halt projects, delay closings, or trigger HPD and DOB fines that quickly spiral into thousands of dollars.
With ViolationWatch, you don’t just find violations — you resolve them faster by getting instant notifications, seeing full violation histories, and coordinating fixes before deadlines pass.
Every day you delay a correction, penalties increase and compliance risks rise.
Whether it’s an HPD Class C violation, a DOB safety infraction, or a 311 complaint, the key to avoiding fines is simple:
Know about violations immediately — and act fast.
ViolationWatch helps you do exactly that with real-time tracking and alerts from every NYC agency:
DOB (Department of Buildings)
HPD (Housing Preservation & Development)
FDNY (Fire Department)
DOT (Transportation)
DOHMH (Health)
311 Complaints
Manual Tracking vs. Building Violation Alerts NYC
Manually checking DOB, HPD, FDNY and 311 takes hours and misses updates. Without building violation alerts NYC, you can learn about a violation only after fines start. ViolationWatch unifies every NYC source so you see all building violations in one place—fast.
Stop Searching—Automate Building Violation Alerts NYC
No one has time to refresh DOB, HPD and 311 portals daily. ViolationWatch automates building violation alerts in NYC, scanning all major databases and sending real-time WhatsApp & email notifications the moment something changes.
