From city filing to a usable review queue

The product value is filtering and context, not the file format.

01 · Filter

Remove unrelated records

Roof-family codes and descriptions narrow the city dataset to records a roofing team may want to inspect.

02 · Understand

Read the useful facts

Address, date, status, description, violation code, and inspection ID stay visible in one place.

03 · Verify

Open the official record

Confirm the filing and current context before outreach, estimating, or any representation about required work.

Designed for

Chicago roofing contractors, estimators, and business-development teams who want a smaller, trade-relevant set of public records to review.

Important boundary

A public violation record is not a confirmed lead, a guaranteed job, or proof that an owner wants contractor outreach.
