What each signal means

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.

Tax-sale properties

The county has scheduled the property for a tax sale or lien sale. The most urgent of the tax signals.

Usually from: County tax sale or tax lien lists. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 30, halving every 90 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.

Vacant properties

No one lives there: registered vacant, cited as vacant, or flagged by the city.

Usually from: USPS vacancy, utility or city vacant registries. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 18, doesn't fade.

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.

The public feeds

  • Indianapolis unsafe building complaintsIndianapolis, IN

    Unsafe-building complaints on private property sent to Business and Neighborhood Services through RequestIndy (about 90 a month), updated daily. These are complaints that start an inspection, not unsafe orders. No owner names.

  • Indianapolis high weeds and dumping on private propertyIndianapolis, IN

    Complaints about high weeds and illegal dumping on private lots and yards (about 1,300 a month in summer, far fewer in winter), updated daily. Overgrown yards often mean an empty or neglected house, but this is a weak signal on its own and includes vacant lots; best stacked with others. No owner names.

  • Marion County (Indianapolis) 2026 tax sale certificatesMarion County, IN

    Parcels from the Treasurer's 2026 tax sale whose lien was sold to an investor (Sold) or went unsold to the county (County Lien) and has not been redeemed (about 1,000; statuses change as owners redeem, newest change 2026-10-28). Owners have about a year to redeem before a tax deed, so these are urgent. Includes some commercial parcels and lots; no owner names. Change TAXYEAR to '2026 PAYABLE 2027' after next year's sale.

  • Marion County (Indianapolis) out-of-state homeownersMarion County, IN

    Homes (residential classes 510-599) on the city-county parcel layer whose owner mails outside Indiana (about 22,000 before the large rental companies are dropped by name; parcel edits run through October 2026). LLCs are kept.

  • Indianapolis unresolved building code violationsIndianapolis, IN

    Business and Neighborhood Services building violation and repair-order cases that are not corrected (about 1,700 a year, 13,000 still unresolved overall), updated daily, with the owner of record. Statuses like Closed - Fees Due and Collections mean the owner never fixed it and the city billed them. The detail is the case status.

  • Indianapolis vacant board orders and vacancy casesIndianapolis, IN

    Vacant and open houses the city ordered boarded (Vacant Board Order) and vacancy cases, not yet corrected (about 1,000 a year), updated daily, with the owner of record. Closed, VBO means the city boarded it and billed the owner. The detail is the case status.

  • Indianapolis unsafe building and demolition casesIndianapolis, IN

    Unsafe building investigations and demolition-order cases that are still open (about 800 a year), updated daily, with the owner of record. Stages like DCE Legal Review, Hearing Pending and Affirmed to Bid mean the city is moving toward a hearing or a demolition contract. Overlaps the unsafe-building 311 complaint feed, which has no owner.

  • Indianapolis uncorrected weeds and trash violationsIndianapolis, IN

    High weeds and trash violations the owner did not correct (about 5,000 a year), updated daily, with the owner of record. When the owner ignores the order the city cleans and bills, so repeat cases usually mean a vacant or neglected house. Weak alone; good for stacking.
