Rankings

Standing lists built from the same public records behind every page on this site. Each ranking states its method and can be cited directly. Nothing here is editorial judgment; it is arithmetic on city data.

For journalists

Every ranking is free to cite with credit to “OpenViolations (openviolations.org)”. An owner’s buildings across shell LLCs are already on their portfolio page; if you need a cut we do not publish, like a ranking by council district or community board, send the request through the form and we will run it against the raw data.
