Watch out for these
- Every row we checked has a closing date, so this is a history of cases, not a list of open ones. Look for addresses that repeat.
- Some rows say No Violation. In the property maintenance file that was 3,235 of 20,299 rows. Remove them.
- The screen can show 8:00 PM on the day before. The file shows the date at 12:00 AM. Use the date in the file.
- There is no owner name. Use the address on the city property search.
