Check DOB Violations in NYC Instantly
You can search DOB violations in NYC manually through the city’s official BIS portal, but it only covers DOB data and doesn’t alert you when new issues appear. It’s slow, fragmented, and often missing related HPD or 311 complaints that could impact your property record.
That’s why we built the ViolationWatch NYC DOB Violation Lookup Tool — a free, no-login violation search that combines all major city databases into one instant report.
Instantly Check NYC Building Violations — No Login Required
Enter any address to see active DOB issues plus related complaints and permits in one search.
The Hidden Cost of Manually Checking NYC Building Violations
Every NYC agency — DOB, HPD, FDNY, and 311 — runs on separate outdated systems. Manually checking each one takes hours, and missing even a single update can trigger surprise fines or inspection delays. ViolationWatch unifies all city data so you can see every violation and complaint instantly.
Stop Wasting Hours on DOB, HPD & 311 Searches
Keeping up with violations across DOB, HPD, FDNY, and 311 shouldn’t take your entire day. Manual lookups are slow and easy to forget — until a notice lands in your mailbox. ViolationWatch automates every search, giving you real-time updates from all agencies in one dashboard.
Why Manual NYC Violation Searches Miss Critical Updates
City databases refresh at different times — some daily, others weekly — and they never notify you. By the time you check again, new DOB or HPD violations may already be active. Our real-time monitoring system scans every NYC source continuously so you’ll never miss an update again.
