FAQPage Schema
How do I check NYC DOB and ECB violations for a property?▼

To check NYC DOB and ECB violations, enter a building address, BBL, or BIN to resolve the property via PLUTO and retrieve a consolidated report of open and historical violations.

What is the difference between DOB and ECB violations in NYC property records?▼

DOB violations are issued by the Department of Buildings for building code infractions, while ECB violations are civil citations adjudicated by the Environmental Control Board, both of which are queried and summarized in the report.

Can I find open NYC building violations using just a BBL or BIN?▼

Yes, you can find open NYC building violations using a BBL or BIN, as the system resolves these identifiers via PLUTO and queries Socrata endpoints to flag currently open items and penalties.

Does this tool provide historical violation data and penalty amounts for NYC buildings?▼

Yes, the tool provides complete historical violation data and penalty amounts for NYC buildings, querying Socrata endpoints to format results and prominently flag any open violations.

What's the best way to run due diligence on NYC property violations before a purchase?▼

For NYC property due diligence, input the target address, BBL, or BIN to instantly consolidate open DOB and ECB violations, historical records, and penalty data into a single risk assessment report.

Why are my NYC property violation queries returning no results?▼

NYC property violation queries may return no results if the input address, BBL, or BIN fails to resolve via PLUTO, or if the Socrata endpoints contain no matching DOB or ECB records for that building.
