NYC Building Violations Lookup & Real-Time Alerts
Running property in New York City means keeping track of endless DOB, HPD, FDNY and 311 violations. Missing even one can trigger costly fines or inspection delays. ViolationWatch centralizes all city-agency data in one live dashboard — so you know what’s happening before the notice hits your mailbox.
Instantly Check NYC Building Violations — No Login Required
We built a free public lookup tool so you can verify any NYC address in seconds — no account, no signup, no credit card. Just type an address to see open and resolved violations from DOB, HPD, FDNY, DOT, 311, and more. If you want to monitor updates automatically, you can upgrade later — but for quick checks, it’s completely free.
The Problem with Checking NYC Violations the Hard Way
Manual searches take time, miss updates, and often show incomplete data. Each city agency runs its own outdated portal — meaning you could be fined before you even know a violation exists. That’s why we built a faster, unified way to see everything in one place.
If You’re Still Searching Manually, You’re Already Behind
Between DOB, HPD, FDNY, and 311, no one has time to check every portal daily. Manual lookups are slow, scattered, and easy to forget — until a violation notice lands in your mailbox. ViolationWatch automates it all, keeping you informed the moment something changes.
Why Manual Violation Searches Miss Critical Updates
City databases refresh at different times — some daily, others weekly — and they rarely alert you. By the time you see a new DOB or HPD violation, penalties may already be in motion. Our system scans every source continuously so you never miss an update.
How ViolationWatch Works
ViolationWatch keeps you informed, compliant, and ahead of costly violations.
