NYC property violation lookup FAQ

How do I look up HPD violations by address?

Enter the New York City property address, select the matching suggestion, and run the search. Supported HPD records returned for that property appear with their published status and official source link. See the HPD violation lookup guide for help interpreting the record.

Can I search NYC DOB violations here?

Yes. The lookup checks supported DOB building violation and DOB ECB or OATH data by address. Availability varies by dataset and record, so use the official source link to confirm the latest agency status. The DOB versus OATH/ECB guide explains the difference.

Can I search by NYC BBL or BIN?

This free lookup currently starts with a property address rather than a raw BBL or BIN. If you only have a BBL, use NYC Planning's BBL service to identify the address, then search it here.

Are all NYC building violations fines?

No. Many violations require correction but do not include a payable fine. EstatesCheck labels records conservatively when an outstanding amount is not confirmed by the source.

Where does the property violation data come from?

EstatesCheck searches supported official New York City and agency datasets and provides links to original records when those links are available.

Does EstatesCheck show the amount still owed?

When available, EstatesCheck shows the most recent confirmed outstanding amount published by the issuing source. An unclear or missing amount is not presented as money owed.
