What each signal means

Permits

Work is being done: repairs, a remodel or a teardown, sometimes before a sale. A weak signal on its own.

Usually from: Building permits (pre-sale repairs). Weight in Deal Radar's score: 4, halving every 120 days.

Unsafe buildings

A building department order: the property can't be lived in as is.

Usually from: Building department orders. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 22, halving every 365 days.

Out-of-state owners

The owner lives in another state, which makes the property harder to manage.

Usually from: Assessor: owner mails out of state. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 9, doesn't fade.

Code violations

The city cited the property for its condition. Landlords tired of repairs and owners who can't afford them both show up here.

Usually from: City code enforcement. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 14, halving every 180 days.

The public feeds

  • Atlanta residential alteration, addition and demolition permitsAtlanta, GA

    Building permit records the Department of City Planning opens for alterations, additions and demolitions of homes (about 2,700 so far in 2026), refreshed daily from Accela. Rows whose address is not written as street, city, state ZIP (a few older records) are left out. Most rows are applications still in review, so the date is when the record was opened, not when the permit was issued. Pre-sale repairs and teardowns are weak signals on their own; best stacked with others.

  • Atlanta In Rem (unsafe structure) propertiesAtlanta, GA

    Properties the city has taken to In Rem review (the court process that orders an unsafe, derelict building repaired or demolished), as published by City Planning on 2026-02-20 (about 105). No owners or ZIPs.

    Parcels whose tax bill goes to an address outside Georgia (about 16,000), from the county's tax owner address table (updated daily).
