// HAVE QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED.

Get instant answers about our NYC property violation monitoring service.

Getting started is straightforward - just create your account and enter your NYC property details including the street address and borough. Once registered, our system automatically begins scanning 10+ NYC datasets including D.O.B. violations, ECB violations, HPD Housing Code violations, 311 service requests, FDNY Fire Code violations, Stop Work Orders, Building Permits, DOB NOW Approved Permits, OATH Case Status, HPD Housing Litigation, and HPD AEP to ensure comprehensive monitoring of your property.
Our notification system delivers instant updates across plans. Email is included on all plans; text message and AI voice alerts are on Pro and Enterprise. AI voice minutes per plan: Starter 0 min/month, Pro 100 min/month, Enterprise unlimited (fair use). Each alert contains comprehensive details about the violation or complaint, including the specific property address, violation type, agency issuing the notice, and recommended next steps. This ensures you're fully informed and can prioritize your response effectively across all NYC agencies.

Absolutely! As the primary account owner, you'll receive comprehensive notifications for your entire property portfolio. You can also add up to four additional recipients per property (total 5 including you) to receive alerts — perfect for building managers, maintenance staff, or other key personnel.

Our advanced monitoring system conducts comprehensive scans across 10+ data sources and all five boroughs of NYC, with each property being checked approximately every 60 minutes across D.O.B., ECB, HPD, FDNY, 311, permits and additional datasets such as DOB NOW, OATH, HPD Litigation and AEP. This ensures you're always up‑to‑date with any changes or new violations from any NYC agency.

Your protection begins instantly upon property registration! Our system starts monitoring your property across all 7 data sources right away, though in some cases, it may take up to 24 hours for our database to fully sync with all NYC agency systems (D.O.B., ECB, HPD, FDNY, 311) and begin comprehensive tracking.

Rest assured - silence is golden! While you can always verify your property's status directly through the D.O.B. website for peace of mind, no alerts typically means your property is in good standing with no active violations or complaints.

Absolutely! You can upgrade to Pro (adds text message and AI voice alerts + increases to 10 properties) or to Enterprise (up to 25 properties, all alert types) at any time. You can also add more properties within your plan limits. We'll calculate the price difference at the time of upgrade, and your new rate will be effective immediately.

While uncommon, this can occur in urgent situations where inspectors are dispatched immediately. Sometimes there's a brief delay between an inspection and when the complaint appears in the agency databases. Remember: Our service is designed to give you advance notice when possible across all 7 data sources, but it can't prevent unannounced inspections - it's meant to help you stay informed and prepared.

AI voice alerts are automated phone calls from our intelligent voice agent that read out important violation details and next steps. They are designed for time-sensitive issues when text messages or email might be missed. Calls originate from our trusted telco provider and are available on Pro and Enterprise plans (Starter includes a small monthly allowance).
Starter includes 5 minutes per month, Pro includes 100 minutes per month, and Enterprise is unlimited (fair use). These minutes apply per account and reset monthly.
Usage is tracked with per‑second accuracy and shown in your dashboard rounded up to the nearest minute. Minutes automatically reset at the start of each billing month.
For Starter and Pro, once your monthly allowance is used, further AI voice calls are paused until the next reset. You'll continue to receive text messages and email. You can upgrade plans anytime or contact support to request a temporary bonus.
Your dashboard shows an AI voice minutes summary with minutes used, included, and remaining for the current month.
