Frequently Asked Questions About Code Violations in Pittsburgh, PA

How do I check for code violations at my property in Pittsburgh?

Search your Pittsburgh address on ViolationNet for any reported code violations. You can also call 311 (available 8:00am-6:00pm; voicemail/email accepted anytime) or visit the Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspections website for Top 10 Code Violations information.

What happens if I have an open code violation in Pittsburgh?

An inspector visits within 5 days of your 311 request. You receive a first notice with 30 days to fix the violation. If non-compliant after the first period, you get a second notice (another 30 days). After the second period, documents are sent to a magistrate for hearing or property boarded.

How long does Pittsburgh give you to fix a code violation?

You have 30 days from the first notice to correct the violation. If needed, you get another 30 days after the second notice. Daily fines accrue ($1-$1,000 per violation per day) until corrected. Non-compliance results in magistrate hearings and possible property boarding.

Can code violations affect my property value in Pittsburgh?

A city-published violation is one piece of property research. Whether it affects value, insurance, financing, or a transaction depends on the property, the parties, and local requirements. Verify the current case status and any obligations with the issuing agency and the appropriate professional.

How do I report a code violation in Pittsburgh?

Call 311 or use voicemail/email services (available anytime). The Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspections uses a two-step inspection and notice process. Escalation to magistrate occurs if violations aren't corrected, with daily fines accumulating and liens potentially filed.
