Know about a violation as soon as the city posts it.

Type your building's address. This sample reads its real open violations from NYC Open Data, then shows the email you would have received.

A sample, not a live service. No alerts are sent and nothing you type is saved. Built by Tyler Francis, a Baruch College student, to find out whether building owners would use this.

Pick an address from the list. The city can post a violation a day or more after it is filed.

Would you use this?

I am deciding whether to build it. A plain "no" is as useful as a "yes". Three questions:

1. How do you find out about a new violation today?
2. Would you pay for alerts like these, and what per building per month?
3. What is missing from this sample?
