NYC building violations, caught before they become fines.
DOB Scan checks your building's DOB, HPD, ECB/OATH and 311 records every day - and emails your board the moment something changes: a new violation, a hearing date, a judgment you can still settle for less.
DAILY CHECKS • NYC OPEN DATA • ALERTS FOR THE WHOLE BOARD
Coverage
Every record that can turn into a fine
One daily sweep across the city datasets that matter to a residential building - including tickets other monitors miss because they only look at one agency.
DOB violations
Open Department of Buildings violations and civil penalties - boiler filings, benchmarking (LL84), energy grades and more.
HPD violations
Housing violations by class - including Class C, immediately hazardous, where the correction clock runs fastest.
ECB / OATH fines & hearings
Tickets, balances and hearing dates. We flag upcoming hearings - a defaulted hearing usually means the maximum penalty.
FDNY-issued tickets
Fire Department summonses live inside the ECB/OATH data. We track them as their own category, so they never hide in the pile.
311 complaints - early warning
A tenant complaint today is often an inspection next week. We watch 311 activity so the board hears about it first.
Local Law monitoring
Filing deadlines tracked for your building, with alerts before they fall due: LL84 benchmarking, LL87 energy audit / retro-commissioning, LL88 lighting upgrades, LL97 emissions, LL11 facade inspections (FISP) - buildings over 6 stories, LL126 parapets, LL126 parking structure inspections (QPSI), LL152 gas piping, LL157 gas detectors. Periodic equipment inspections are tracked the same way: annual boiler inspections, elevator CAT1 and periodic tests, cooling tower registration and inspections, and backflow preventer annual tests.
Rental buildings also: lead paint (LL1 / LL31), indoor allergen hazards (LL55), annual bedbug filing (LL69).
How it works
Set it up once. It watches every day.
No software to install, no portal logins to share with the whole board, nothing for your manager to remember.
Tell us the building
Send an address. We resolve it to the city's building identifiers and start the daily checks - no forms, no site visit.
Get alerted on change
When a check finds something new - a violation, a balance change, a hearing date - your board gets an email alert with the details, plus a weekly status digest.
See it all on one page
Every open item lives on your building's report page: counts, balances in penalties, deadlines. Your free account opens the full item-by-item report, always current to the last check.
Sample report
A real building, real city data
Headline counts for an actual Bronx building, pulled from the public city records - not a mock-up. The item-by-item detail is account-only.
975 Walton Ave, Bronx, NY
Open items across four agencies, from public records checked November 11, 2026 - including $51,790 in OATH balances in penalties and 152 complaints to DOB/HPD in the last 12 months.
This is a public snapshot. The full, item-by-item report - and daily alerts when anything changes - come with a free account.
Named public sources
The report is built from NYC Open Data datasets - DOB NOW, HPD, ECB/OATH and 311 - the same public records the agencies publish.
Daily comparison
Each day's records are compared with the previous snapshot. An alert goes out only when something actually changed; a weekly digest confirms the quiet weeks.
Check it yourself
Items on the report link to the official city lookups, so any figure can be verified at the source. DOB Scan is independent and is not affiliated with the City of New York or any municipal agency.

Ordering runs through your free DOB Scan account - or write to contact@dobscan.com.

FAQ
Questions boards ask us
Where does the data come from?
NYC Open Data (DOB NOW, HPD, ECB/OATH and 311) - the same public records the agencies publish. We check them daily and compare against yesterday's snapshot, so an alert always means something actually changed. City data can lag the agencies' own systems; our page shows the date of the last check.
Do board members need accounts or logins?
One free account covers the building: the account holder sees the full, item-by-item report. Email alerts and the weekly digest go to every board member on the recipient list - they need no login at all.
What exactly triggers an alert?
A new violation or ticket, a status or balance change, a newly scheduled hearing, or a judgment becoming eligible for a settlement program. Quiet weeks get one short digest: checked daily, no changes.
Can DOB Scan fix or dismiss our violations?
No - we monitor and alert. Your expeditor, architect or managing agent does the filings and corrections; we make sure the board never learns about a deadline from a penalty notice.
Are document pulls and field services part of the subscription?
No - they are one-time services, ordered separately by email. Document prices are on this page; field services are quoted per building after a short description of the condition.
Which buildings is this for?
NYC residential buildings - condos, co-ops and rentals. Setup needs only an address; we handle the city identifiers (BIN, BBL, HPD ID).
