What it is

  • Case_Type
  • Case_Group_Desc
  • Status_Violation_Case
  • Violation_Code_Description
  • Display (address)

  5. Download the CSV

    Under CSV, click Download. Wait for the file to save, then open it in Excel or Google Sheets. You now have the list.

Watch out for these

  • One case has many rows, one per violation. Remove duplicate case numbers if you only want one row per house.
  • The status Open has almost no rows. Enforce, Assessed, Pending and Stop Work hold the live cases.
  • There is no owner name. Use the APN on the Hennepin County property site.
  • If Toggle Filters is off, you get the whole table, not your filtered rows.
