A code violation means an owner just got hit with fines, a repair they can't afford, or a compliance deadline — the freshest motivated-seller signal in real estate. ViolationNet turns daily city code-enforcement records into a feed of distressed owners, ranked by distress score, with ABSENTEE owners flagged and their mailing address attached — plus a direct-mail skip-list CSV and a letter opener on every lead. Own property yourself? Monitor your own portfolio so a notice never catches you off guard.
Free instant lookup. No signup required.
Watch dozens of buildings across multiple cities from one dashboard. See your whole portfolio's compliance status at a glance and never miss a notice on a unit you manage.
Best with PortfolioCatch problems before a tenant complaint or an escalating fine does. Get notified the day a violation is filed against your rental so you can fix it on your timeline, not the city's.
Best with ProFind motivated sellers first. Every new violation is ranked by distress score and flags ABSENTEE owners — with the owner name and mailing address attached. Each morning's feed ships with a direct-mail skip-list CSV and a ready-to-send letter opener per lead. Automated driving for dollars, plus full violation history for due diligence before you close.
