One of 30 cities with a searchable list. Code violation lists by city.
New Orleans code-enforcement cases, about 183,000 filed July 2008 to present, refreshed daily.
Covers the City of New Orleans, which shares its boundary with Orleans Parish. Neighboring parishes such as Jefferson and St. Bernard keep their own permit and code-enforcement records.
Source: City of New Orleans Open Data. CC0 1.0 public domain dedication (City of New Orleans). Code-enforcement cases and permits are both published on NOLA Open Data. The violations address is the case's location column, which keeps address ranges ("3642-3644 Laurel St") and is filled on more rows than the geocoded address.
Buyers and renters check a property for open code cases and unpermitted work before they commit. Homeowners confirm a contractor pulled the permit they paid for, and that it closed. Neighbors look up a problem property near them. Investors, agents, and inspectors fold the violation and permit history into due diligence. Paid services charge per report for these public records; the city's data is open, so this tool is free.
Two public records for a New Orleans property: the code-enforcement violations reported against it and the building permits pulled for work on it. Together they show open code cases, what was built or repaired and when, and, where the city records it, who did the work.
It is pulled live from City of New Orleans Open Data each time you search; nothing is cached on our end. The coverage line under each tab states the exact span that dataset covers, so you always know how fresh the records are.
Only properties with a record on file appear. Many properties have no open violation and no recent permit, which is normal, not an error. Try the street name on its own, or a nearby address, and check both tabs.
A violation is a case the city opened. Its status (open, closed, or resolved) tells you where it stands, so read the status on each record instead of assuming a listed violation is still active.
It is what City of New Orleans Open Data publishes openly, which is the city's own record. For the certified file, or for very recent activity that has not synced yet, use the official city portal linked under the results.
Parcel lookup answers who owns a property and its assessed value, from the county. A property report answers what has happened to the building, from the city: violations and permits. They complement each other.
