What it is

A City of Rochester map of every property, with code enforcement data. You pull the properties with an open code case. This covers Rochester only, not all of Monroe County.

Why it matters

An open code case can mean a neglected or vacant house, and an owner who may want out. Fines and repair orders add pressure to sell.

The fields you get

  • Parcel ID
  • Address
  • Open Code Enforcement Case
  • Owner_1
  • OwnAddr_1 (owner mailing address)

  • The file has one row per property. It does not list each case or a case date.
  • The city Property Information app says it no longer has code data. Use BuildingBlocks.
