Scan the Block · for hoa or property management
Every building in the book, watched while you run the book.
Responsibility for a building is continuous; a records check is a snapshot. Watch every building you are responsible for and get one Monday email with what was filed on or near each: permits, complaints, violations, eviction notices beside you. Boards get the PDF; you get your mornings back.
The questions it answers
- Is this building a condominium?
- What has been cited and never closed?
- Is there a retrofit obligation?
- How do I find buildings needing management?
- What capital work has been petitioned for?
- What is not in the public record?
The sections that earn their keep
Watched buildingsThe whole portfolio on one weekly email, deduped, with quiet weeks sending nothing at all.
Complaints and violationsWhat stands against each parcel and what was abated — the agenda item, pre-written.
Fire safetyThe fire department's compliance record, which is a different agency and a different list than building inspection.
Energy benchmarkingWhich buildings carry the annual obligation and where they stand on it.
The one-page summaryThe version that goes in the board packet.
Nothing here needs a compliance read.
The report contains no scores, grades or rankings — no safety rating, no school grade, no
neighborhood letter. Those are the classic proxies for what the Fair Housing Act protects,
and this product refuses them by design: you get counts, comparisons and sources. It names
no person, and it is not a consumer report.
Written for you
