Bronx Building Violations Lookup & Real-Time Alerts

The Bronx consistently reports some of the highest levels of HPD, DOB, and 311 enforcement in NYC. With dense multifamily buildings, aging housing stock, commercial corridors, and active construction zones, owners who rely on manual checks find out about violations far too late.

ViolationWatch monitors DOB, HPD, FDNY, ECB/OATH, DEP, DOHMH, DOT, DSNY, DOF and every 311 complaint tied to your Bronx properties. When a new violation or complaint hits your building, you receive a real-time WhatsApp and email alert.

Built for the Bronx’s Enforcement Realities

Large Multifamily Buildings & Prewar Rentals

Fordham, Concourse, Mott Haven, and Kingsbridge have some of NYC’s oldest housing stock — which means higher HPD activity and more recurring 311 complaints.

Rapid Development Along the South Bronx Waterfront

Mott Haven, Port Morris, and the Harlem River corridor see constant DOB and FDNY inspections tied to new construction and mixed-use conversions.

Commercial Corridors, Industrial Zones & Transit Hubs

Jerome Ave, Third Ave, Southern Blvd, and Hunts Point generate elevated enforcement — signage issues, store inspections, mechanical violations, and sanitation problems.
