Why NYC Building Compliance is different
Most free lookup sites show you violations you already have. NYC Building Compliance starts from your building’s real characteristics and tells you every obligation before it becomes a violation — with the governing law and penalty for each.
It reads your actual building
Square footage, stories, year built, and units come straight from the City’s PLUTO records — so the obligations shown are the ones that truly apply, not a generic checklist.
Deadlines specific to you
Your FISP facade sub-cycle, your Local Law 97 compliance period, your gas-inspection community district — calculated from your BBL, not looked up in a table.
Citation-grade, always free
Every obligation links to the Local Law and the official NYC agency page, with the real penalty for missing it. No paywall, no sales call.

How does NYC Building Compliance know what applies to my building?
We pull your building’s real characteristics from the City’s PLUTO records — gross floor area, number of stories, year built, residential units, and building class — and apply the thresholds written into each Local Law. That’s how we know a 7-story building owes FISP facade inspections, or that a 30,000 sq ft building is covered by Local Law 97.
Is this an official City of New York website?
No. NYC Building Compliance is an independent resource, not affiliated with the City. Every obligation links to the governing Local Law and the official NYC agency page so you can verify it, and you should always confirm specifics with DOB, HPD, or a licensed professional.
Where do the violations come from?
Live from NYC Open Data — DOB violations, ECB/OATH violations, and HPD housing maintenance code violations — queried in real time using your building’s BBL and BIN. Numbers reflect what the City has published; there can be a short lag before new violations appear.
Some obligations say “conditional.” Why?
A few obligations depend on equipment the public records don’t always confirm — whether you have a boiler, elevator, cooling tower, or gas piping. We flag those as conditional so you can quickly confirm which ones apply, rather than pretending we know.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The compliance profile, the Local Law 97 estimator, and the violation lookup are all free.
