05Violation reference

The code on the ticket, in the City’s words.

Every ticket is written under a section of the Detroit City Code. These are the sections the City wrote most in the last 30 days. Sixty-nine have their own page, with the ordinance, the fine schedule and the City’s published process: general information, not advice on a case.

06Common questions

What people ask first.

A question about a specific ticket goes to the Department of Appeals and Hearings, (313) 224-0098.

01What does the free check show?

What three City records say about the address: every blight ticket on the DAH docket since 2010 with its balance, status and hearing date, the Certificate of Compliance and rental status, and recent building permits. The $29 report reads all 17 records, including water, property taxes and tax forfeiture, demolitions, lead clearance and the Wayne County recordings, as a downloadable PDF.

02How is this different from a title search?

A title search checks recorded liens at the county level. Detroit blight judgments, water liens, and tax issues often have not been recorded there yet: they live only in the city databases. We surface the municipal records a standard title search misses.

03Do you give legal advice?

No. We show what the City's public records say about a property, with the source and the date we read it, and tell you when they change. Questions about a specific ticket go to the Department of Appeals and Hearings at (313) 224-0098, or to a Michigan attorney.

04Do you work outside Detroit?

No. The product is built on City of Detroit municipal records. It does not scan the suburbs or other cities.
