What tenants reported

Condition signals in complaint text.

STLCA keyword flags on the complaint description. A record can carry more than one flag. Flags are text signals, not findings. 1,997 of 6,128 complaints matched none of these categories.

Of 62 such records in District 2. Essential services here means heat, hot water, electricity and plumbing flags. A status of Under Investigation is what the record shows on the snapshot date, not a judgement about the case.
The enforcement chain

Complaint to documented outcome, District 2.

Each stage shows its source layer. "Not a public field" and "Review pending" are not zeroes; they mean the public export cannot answer.

Closure basis and documented outcome

Where a record ended, and what it says about the outcome.

Among 8,031 closed or completed records, grouped by the inspection-result value on file. "Corrected and independently verified" cannot be counted: there is no public verification field.

Time and repeat cycles

What can and cannot be timed from this file.

The export's last-inspection date changed meaning over time, so it cannot measure inspection timing. Timing measures wait for R.A.R.E. timelines and source documents.

Timing measures

PUBLIC FIELD Ranked by complaint records among 229 repeat properties (5+ complaints, threshold pending approval). "Recurring public-record signal" describes the file, not any owner. Addresses are the export's original addresses, uppercase and whitespace-normalized only; unit numbers and address variants are not merged.
RRIO accountability

Registration and inspection compared with complaints.

Active registration does not equal verified compliance.

Evidence review in progressThe RRIO register is not yet joined to this complaint file, so no RRIO figure is shown. When the join passes review this section will show:
  • Registered properties and rental units
  • Active, expired and incomplete registrations
  • City versus private-inspector certification
  • Complaints and NOVs after certification
  • Repeat complaints after self-certification
  • Expanded or 100% inspection commitments and documented completion
  • Conflicting City, landlord and tenant accounts, labeled as documented conflicts
Ownership and management connections

Who is linked to high-complaint properties.

A property contact is not the legal owner. Each relationship needs its source and date.

Evidence review in progressNo ownership or portfolio relationships are shown until each is tied to a cited record and date: legal owner, management company, property contact, LLC, registered agent, developer. Portfolio patterns will appear only after that reconciliation.
Enforcement money

Fees, penalties and balances.

Shown only after the LedgerHawk ledger passes review.

Evidence review in progress. Not zero.Fees assessed, penalties assessed, amount paid, adjusted or waived, outstanding balance, collection status and compliance after financial action appear here only after the ledger reconciliation passes review.
