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 reported to code enforcement on the block?
- Which hazard zones cover my buildings?
- How do I find buildings needing management?
- What has been reported to 311 on the block?
- 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.
The ground under it, and the fire above itLiquefaction and landslide susceptibility, the state's fire hazard severity zone, the wildland urban interface, the NEHRP soil class and mapped serpentine — six of the city's own layers, read at the address. A layer that maps no zone here says so, and one that did not answer is marked unread rather than counted as clear.
What was reported on the blockPolice incident reports, 311 service requests and parking citations within the radius, by year and category, each against what an average Oakland area of the same size records.
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.
