NYC DOB Violations is the essential compliance tracker for New York City property owners, managers, and building professionals. Stay on top of DOB violations, HPD violations, ECB/OATH violations, complaints, and inspection deadlines — all in one app. Track every violation and complaint filed against your buildings by the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB), Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), and the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH/ECB). The app pulls data directly from NYC Open Data, giving you real-time access to your building's compliance history. KEY FEATURES Violation Tracking Monitor open and closed violations from DOB, DOB Safety, DOB ECB, and HPD. See violation types, severity levels, issue dates, and descriptions. Link directly to the official NYC DOB BIS record for each violation. Complaint Monitoring Track complaints filed against your properties through DOB and HPD. View complaint categories, disposition codes, inspection dates, and resolution status. Inspection Deadline Calculator Never miss an inspection deadline again. The app automatically calculates upcoming inspection due dates based on your building's properties — elevators, boilers, cooling towers, sprinklers, standpipes, facades, backflow preventers, drinking water tanks, and more. Supports periodic, category 1, category 3, and category 5 elevator inspections. Portfolio Management Organize your buildings into portfolios. Add buildings by searching an address or building name, and the app automatically looks up the BIN and pulls in the full compliance history. Dashboard Overview See open violation counts, open complaint counts, upcoming inspections, and overdue inspections at a glance. Quickly identify which buildings need attention. Notifications Get notified when new violations or complaints are filed against your buildings, and when inspection deadlines are approaching. Automatic Sync Building data syncs automatically every 24 hours from NYC Open Data, so your compliance information stays current without manual effort. Attachments Attach photos and PDF documents to violations, complaints, and inspections. Keep inspection reports, cure letters, and photographic evidence organized alongside each record. Status Management Update the status of violations, complaints, and inspections with required comments for a complete audit trail. Track your progress from open to resolved. Official Record Links Jump directly to the official NYC DOB BIS page for any violation or complaint. View DOB violations, OATH/ECB violations, and DOB complaints on the city's website with one tap. BUILT FOR NYC BUILDING COMPLIANCE Whether you manage one building or an entire portfolio across the five boroughs, NYC DOB Violations gives you the tools to stay compliant with DOB inspection requirements, respond to HPD violations promptly, and track ECB penalties. Purpose-built for New York City's regulatory environment. NYC DOB Violations works entirely offline after syncing — your data is stored locally on your device. No account required.
