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?
Which code-enforcement cases does the city hold open against me?
What will a buyer's agent see first?
What does the county assess my building at, and on what base year?
Which of my permits are still open?
What will the county reset the assessment to when I sell?
