How do I pull code violations records step by step?

Durham's Neighborhood Improvement Services department publishes every currently open land-use code violation case on the shared city-county open data portal, so each row is an active case — and Vacant Lot and Weedy/Junked Lot cases often signal absentee owners.

Go to the Durham Open Data Portal

Navigate to live-durhamnc.opendata.arcgis.com. This is the shared open data portal for the City and County of Durham, NC — free to use, no login needed.

Open the Open Landuse Code Violation Cases dataset

Search for Open Landuse Code Violation Cases and open the dataset with that exact name. It is published by Durham's Neighborhood Improvement Services department and contains currently open land-use code violation cases inside the City of Durham — every record is an active case.

Open the data table

Click View data table on the dataset page. Each row is one open case, with columns for Case, Property Type, Topic (the kind of violation, such as Weedy/Junked Lot or Repair Only), and the property address.

Put the newest cases on top

Click the Case column header to sort it descending. Case numbers start with the year (for example 26-3527 is a 2026 case), so sorting high-to-low floats the newest violations to the top. Pay special attention to Vacant Lot and Weedy/Junked Lot rows — those often signal absentee owners.

Download the list

Click the Download button and choose CSV to save the full list as a spreadsheet you can open in Excel or Google Sheets.

Record the data

For each lead, capture the case number, topic (the violation type), property status, and the full property address — address number, street, apartment/suite, city, and ZIP. Cross-reference the address with the Durham County tax records to find the owner and mailing address.
