When a property gets a building code violation, the owner is legally required to fix it. ViolationRadar turns the city's live violation feed into repair-work leads for contractors and distressed-property signals for investors.
When a city issues a building code violation, the owner is legally required to remediate it — meaning repair work is needed, now. ViolationRadar pulls Chicago's live violation feed daily, filtered to your trade, so you see new repair-needed addresses the day the violation is filed.
You're seeing a free preview. Get every new violation in your trade & city — daily email alerts, filters, and CSV export.
A code violation means the owner must repair — roofing, porch, plumbing, electrical, structural. Reach out with the fix before competitors even know.
Open violations flag owners under pressure — a classic distressed-property signal. Build a targeted outreach list from the public record.
Mitigation, hauling, inspection, and compliance services all follow violations. Be first to the address that needs you.
One repair job (or one deal) pays for a year. Cancel anytime.
Yes. Cities like Chicago publish violations as open data. ViolationRadar aggregates, cleans, and filters that data by trade and status, and delivers it as a daily feed, CSV, or API — so you skip digging through city records.
The live feed pulls directly from Chicago's open-data portal, which updates daily. New violations appear as soon as the city posts them.
You get the real public record — address, violation type, description, status, and date. We never fabricate equity figures or owner phone numbers; the value is being first to the addresses that legally need work.
Chicago is live today. More metros are on the roadmap — Team plan customers can request priority cities.
