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.

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.

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.

Tax-delinquent properties

Property taxes are unpaid. Often an inherited, vacant or neglected property, or an owner under strain.

Usually from: County treasurer delinquency lists. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 24, halving every 365 days.

The public feeds

  • Pittsburgh open PLI violationsPittsburgh, PA

    Permits, Licenses and Inspections cases still in violation or in court (building maintenance, unpermitted work, refuse, weeds), updated daily. No owner names. Used in place of the Allegheny sheriff sale list, which stopped updating in 2022.

  • Pittsburgh condemned and dead-end propertiesPittsburgh, PA

    Buildings PLI has condemned as unfit or unsafe, or flagged as dead-end (vacant and deteriorating), still active (about 3,600), updated daily, with the owner of record. Many are long-vacant; the date is when the record was opened.

  • Pittsburgh residential alteration and demolition permitsPittsburgh, PA

    Residential building permits for alterations and additions, private demolitions and city-funded demolitions of condemned houses (about 3,700 a year), updated daily. City-funded demolitions mean the city is tearing down a condemned house at the owner's cost, a strong signal; renovations are weak on their own.

  • Pittsburgh delinquent city property taxesPittsburgh, PA

    Residential parcels behind on City of Pittsburgh real estate tax (about 24,400; about 20,000 owe for prior years), refreshed monthly by the city treasurer. The detail shows the number of prior years owed, the current delinquent tax and the billing city (bills going to Irving TX or other mortgage servicers mean an escrowed loan). No owner names.
