Frequently asked questions

A 7 AM email for fire protection companies with every new fire code violation their city wrote that a fire protection company can fix, plus a lead app on the Featured and Exclusive plans. We read the official records for 9 areas (New York City, Philadelphia, Florida, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Chicago, Fresno, Reading, Syracuse), keep the extinguisher, alarm, sprinkler, kitchen hood, exit lighting and system testing items, and send the address, ZIP, date and the city's own wording for each one.

From records each city publishes openly: NYC OATH hearings data, Fire Department of New York summonses; City of Philadelphia Licenses and Inspections violations, Fire Code; Florida DBPR restaurant and lodging inspections (fire safety items recorded for the State Fire Marshal); City of Pittsburgh Permits, Licenses and Inspections violations (fire safety cases); San Francisco Fire Department violations (DataSF); City of Chicago Department of Buildings violations (fire safety items); City of Fresno fire inspection data (Fire Suppression inspections); City of Reading code violations (fire safety requirements); City of Syracuse code violations (Fire Code of New York State sections). Each city page names its source and shows the newest violation date we have.

No. It is what the city wrote at the time. Many are corrected, and some are dismissed. New York summonses go to a hearing, and the hearing date is on the lead. We show the city's own wording and never say that an owner broke the law.

You pick the work you do when you sign up: fire extinguishers, fire alarms and detection, sprinklers, standpipes and fire pumps, kitchen hood suppression, or exit signs, emergency lighting and fire doors. General system inspection and testing items go to every system trade, and Fresno's failed fire suppression inspections go to sprinkler and hood companies.

Per city, per month: Directory Listing $14.99 (a listing and quote requests, no alerts), Daily Alerts $99 (the 7 AM email and CSV), Alerts + Featured $199 (email, the lead app and one of 3 Featured spots), Exclusive City $299 ($799 in New York City, Philadelphia and statewide Florida) (you are the only company that gets the violations). Yearly is 12 months for the price of 10. Cancel any time.

Yes. If it is not useful, ask within 14 days of your first payment and we refund it in full.

On Daily Alerts and Alerts + Featured, yes: everyone subscribed in the same city gets the same violations. Exclusive is the exception, one company per city.

No phone numbers: cities do not publish them. New York City, Philadelphia, Florida, Fresno, Syracuse name the owner, the company the summons was written to, or the business on the public record, which we pass on inside your account (with a quick phone search) and never show on public pages. San Francisco and Chicago give the address only.

Most send a short letter to the owner or manager, call the business when it is named, or stop by when they are already working nearby. Your account includes an outreach pack with templates. Only offer work you are licensed to do in that city, never suggest you are with the fire department, and stop contacting anyone who asks.

We check every city every 2 hours. New York posts summonses several days after they are written and serves two copies of its data, so we read it three times each run and keep every summons seen. A city whose newest violation is more than 7 days old is marked Delayed, and one more than 30 days behind comes off the site. Right now: Pittsburgh runs through 2026-10-16; Reading runs through 2026-10-21.

New York City, NY; Philadelphia, PA; Florida, FL; Pittsburgh, PA; San Francisco, CA; Chicago, IL; Fresno, CA; Reading, PA; Syracuse, NY. Few cities publish fire code violations as open data, so coverage grows only as more cities publish.
