The rest of the picture

Only what's owner-relevant

Chicago's 311 system has more than 110 complaint types. Only 29 ever land on a building owner as something to act on — those are on by default, and the rest never reach your inbox.

Every department, tracked

The owning department decides the clock, the cost, and whether the fine is real. We tag it on every complaint — Buildings, Streets & Sanitation, Water Management, BACP, Public Health, and beyond.

Violations and permits, too

Complaints are the early warning. We also track DOB violations and permit filings at the address level — with real current status, not the city’s inspection-history maze.
