Who this is for
Teams that need to know which NYC buildings have open violations, and who is responsible for them: property managers pitching new buildings, investors doing due diligence, and firms that advise NYC landlords.
What I do
- Pull the latest violations from HPD Online and NYC Open Data, so your list is built from what's happening now, not last month.
- Filter to what matters to you: by violation type (mold, pests, lead paint, leaks, plumbing and more), by class (A, B, C) and by date.
- Find the right person: the building's registered managing agent or owner, not a generic front desk.
- Enrich the contact with phone numbers and emails through skip tracing and research tools.
- Remove duplicates against your CRM, so callers don't hit the same people twice.
- Deliver the way you work: a clean CSV, a Google Sheet, or straight into your CRM (GoHighLevel and others), split evenly between your callers if you want.
Why fresh data matters
Lead lists go stale fast. When a violation is weeks old, the owner may have already hired someone, and the contact on an old list is often no longer the decision-maker. Calling while the violation is new, and reaching the managing agent responsible for fixing it, is what turns cold calls into real conversations.
This isn't theory. I built FindXProp, a violation lookup app that an NYC property-services team uses to get daily engagement on calls and a steady flow of hot leads, and a Chrome extension that tags the violations that matter on any HPD Online page.

Frequently asked questions
What is an HPD violation?
HPD (the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development) issues violations when an inspector finds a building breaks the city's Housing Maintenance Code, for example mold, pests, leaks or peeling lead paint. The records are public.
What do Class A, B and C mean?
Class A violations are non-hazardous, Class B are hazardous, and Class C are immediately hazardous and have the shortest deadline to fix. Class B and C buildings are usually the most urgent leads.
Where does the data come from?
Public NYC sources: HPD Online and the NYC Open Data portal, including HPD's violation and building registration records. I then enrich contacts with research and skip-tracing tools.
Can you put the leads directly into my CRM?
Yes. I can deliver a CSV or Google Sheet, or import and assign leads in your CRM. I've worked extensively with GoHighLevel.
What hours do you work?
I'm based in the Philippines and work US Eastern business hours, so I'm online when your team is.
