Scan the Block · for owner or landlord
Everything the city files about your building, and beside it.
You hear about a notice when it matters least — after the deadline, in escrow, or from a tenant's lawyer. The report reads your parcel's full record on demand, and the weekly building watch tells you what was filed on or near it while you were doing something else.
The questions it answers
- What is outstanding against my building?
- Do I have a soft-story obligation?
- What will a buyer's agent see first?
- Can I pass improvement costs through to rent?
- Which of my permits are still open?
- What do I have to disclose at sale?
The sections that earn their keep
Watched buildingsA Monday email when a permit, complaint, violation or nearby eviction notice is filed. A quiet week sends nothing.
Complaints and violationsWhat stands against the parcel, what was abated, and what is still live.
Point of saleThe obligations that ride with the building into a sale, so none of them is a surprise on the settlement statement.
Energy benchmarkingWhether the building is large enough to carry the annual filing, and its recorded standing.
What the block rents forLandlord-reported rents by tenancy start, which is the income question answered with filings rather than listings.
