    What this is

    A property report is the public history a city keeps on a parcel: the code-enforcement violations reported against it, and the building permits pulled for work on it. Together they tell you whether a property has open code cases, what was built or repaired and when, and who did the work. The cities here publish that record as open data; this tool reads it directly so you can find it for a given street or address.

    It is the kind of property history that paid lookup sites put behind a paywall. The city's data is public, so this tool is free. Use it before you buy, rent, or renovate, or to check what a contractor pulled a permit for. Each city page searches both records from one address box.
