10 NYC agencies in one feed

ViolationWatch fuses real-time signals from DOB, HPD, ECB, OATH, FDNY, 311, DEP, DOH, PRM, and DOT into a single unified feed per building. Most tools stop at DOB; this engine watches every city agency that can generate a violation.

Catch violations from all 10 agencies before they become fines — in minutes, not months.

Route alerts to the right people

Set up in 60 seconds: paste any NYC address, auto-resolve BIN/BBL, then route alerts by agency — DOB to the super, OATH to legal, 311 to the PM. Delivery via email, WhatsApp, SMS, or Slack, with typical latency of 10–20 minutes.

Never miss a hearing or violation — the right person gets the alert before fines land.

Every NYC local law, tracked per building

Add-on ($59.99/yr) uses AI to figure out which local laws apply to each property — LL11 facade, LL97 carbon, LL152 gas, LL87 energy, LL88 lighting, LL196 SST, LL126 garages, LL26 sprinklers — and tracks every deadline with reminders and penalty estimates.

Stay ahead of compliance deadlines and avoid monthly fines for missed filings.

Never default on a fine again

Track every NOV, hearing date, and outcome in one calendar. The OATH docket calendar alone has helped customers avoid defaulted hearings for 14+ months.

Eliminate OATH default judgments and the associated $25,000 penalties.

See complaints before they become violations

Monitor 311 complaints at your building before they route to HPD or DOB for inspection. One property manager caught an HPD Class C hit at 3am and had it fixed by 7am — before the inspector even opened the case.

Close complaints before inspectors arrive, avoiding fines and negative records.
