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 has been reported to 311 on my block?
- Which hazard zones cover my address?
- What will a buyer's agent see first?
- What does the county assess my building at, across seven roll years?
- What is the county’s record of what is standing here?
- What will the county reset the assessment to when I sell?
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.
The building on the county rollAlameda County's assessed land, improvement and net value across seven fiscal years, the exemptions on it, and the date of the last recorded document. Under Proposition 13 the run is a staircase that breaks on a sale, and the report shows the break.
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.
