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?

Yes. Open violations impact property value and marketability. Properties can be boarded due to non-compliance. ViolationNet helps you monitor Pittsburgh violations and stay on top of corrections.

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.
