Frequently asked questions

How do code violations indicate motivated sellers?

Owners facing active code violations often face fines that compound monthly, plus contractor bids they may not be able to fund. Many list below market to avoid the cost of repairs. Real estate investors target violation lists for exactly this reason.

What cities do you cover for code violation data?

PermitGrab tracks code violations from official city code enforcement databases in 50+ cities including New York, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Cleveland, Mesa, Cincinnati, Austin, San Antonio, Cape Coral, and Fort Worth.

Do you include property owner names with violations?

Yes. Wherever the city or county assessor exposes ownership data, we cross-link it to the violation address. You get the owner name and mailing address right next to the violation.

How often is the violation data updated?

PermitGrab pulls fresh violation data from each city every 24 hours. Property owner data refreshes monthly from county assessor exports.
