NYC HPD and DOB violation tracker

LapseHawk reads the city's public records for each New York City building you manage: HPD housing violations, DOB violations, ECB/OATH summonses and DOB NOW Safety filings. Open items land in one list, worst first, and when the city closes one, it closes in LapseHawk too.

What it reads

The NYC agencies landlords answer to

Summonses and hearing status.

DOB NOW Safety

The safety filings the city publishes for the building.

Then what

From violation to fixed

  • Life-safety items are flagged and the list is sorted worst first.
  • Each violation can be assigned as a work order to an approved vendor.
  • Fix-by and certify-by dates go on the calendar with reminders.
  • Buffalo and Syracuse are covered too, plus NJ and 38 more cities and counties nationwide.

Who it's for

NYC owners and managers

HPD, DOB and ECB each publish their own records, on their own sites, by their own building identifiers. LapseHawk looks them all up by the address, every day, and puts the open items for every building you manage in one list. A violation the city closes closes here too, and a new one shows up the next day, so your team works from the city's current record instead of a stale printout.

How fresh

Checked about once a day

LapseHawk checks each building's records about once a day and only shows what the official record says. If an agency's site can't be reached, it shows the error instead of guessing. LapseHawk works anywhere in the US: see the nationwide building violation tracker.

Does it work outside NYC?

Yes. LapseHawk works for properties anywhere in the US.

What if the city's site is down?
