GetCodeViolations

GetCodeViolations is a mobile-first lead generation platform engineered exclusively for contractors. It transforms public government data into a powerful, exclusive sales pipeline. Every day, city and county inspectors issue building code violations for problems like damaged roofs, broken plumbing, electrical hazards, and peeling paint. Homeowners who receive these citations are legally obligated to make repairs quickly or face daily fines, making them high-intent leads actively searching for a contractor. GetCodeViolations automates the discovery process by continuously monitoring hundreds of municipal databases across 29+ states and 130+ cities. It delivers these fresh, qualified leads directly to your mobile dashboard or inbox, categorizing them by trade. For a flat monthly fee, contractors gain access to unlimited leads, bypassing the high-cost, high-competition model of traditional referral services. Built with a seamless user experience, it empowers roofers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, painters, and general contractors to find and contact motivated customers before their competition does.

Daily Lead Delivery & Notifications

Your dashboard is updated daily with new code violations from your selected service areas. You can also configure instant email notifications to be alerted the moment a new lead matching your trade is discovered. This ensures you have the freshest information to reach out first, turning public data into private opportunity before other contractors even know it exists.

Trade-Specific Filtering

The platform intelligently categorizes every violation by trade, such as roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and painting. This allows you to filter your dashboard to see only the leads that are relevant to your specific business. No more sifting through irrelevant data; you see exactly the homeowners who need your services right now.

Unlimited Leads & Flat-Rate Pricing

Unlike pay-per-lead services where you compete and pay per referral, GetCodeViolations operates on a simple subscription model. For one flat monthly rate, you get unlimited access to all the leads in your covered areas. This predictable cost structure provides immense value and scales with your business without surprise fees.

Mobile-Optimized Dashboard & Export

Access your lead pipeline from anywhere with a clean, intuitive mobile-first dashboard designed for contractors on the go. View key details like address, violation description, and date. For further analysis or mail merge campaigns, you can easily export your lead lists with a single click into a CSV file for use in other tools.

For Roofing Contractors

Target homeowners with active violations for damaged shingles, roof decking, or water intrusion. These are urgent repairs mandated by the city, giving you a direct in with a homeowner who is already aware of the problem and under a deadline to fix it, drastically improving your close rate on inspections.

For Plumbing & HVAC Specialists

Find properties cited for sewage backups, broken water lines, or non-functional heating and cooling systems. These are not optional upgrades but necessary repairs to bring a home to code. Your service call addresses an immediate health, safety, or compliance issue for the homeowner.

For Electrical Contractors

Secure leads for serious safety hazards like exposed wiring, overloaded panels, or missing GFCI outlets. Homeowners are motivated to resolve these electrical violations quickly to avoid fire risk and fines, making them highly receptive to professional estimates and fast scheduling.

For General Contractors & Painters

Identify a wide range of exterior and interior work, from structural issues and crumbling foundations to peeling paint (including lead paint hazards). This provides a diversified stream of leads for contractors who handle multiple trades or specialize in exterior renovation and compliance work.

How is this different from HomeAdvisor or Angi?

GetCodeViolations provides exclusive leads sourced from public records, not shared referrals. On HomeAdvisor, you compete with 5-10 other contractors for the same lead and pay a high fee per referral. Our service gives you direct, first access to the homeowner for a flat monthly rate with unlimited leads, eliminating competition and lowering your cost per job.

What information do I get with my subscription?

On the Pro plan, you receive the property address, city, specific violation details, the category of work needed, and the date it was filed. This is everything you need to start a targeted outreach campaign via mail or door knocking. Owner names and phone numbers are part of a forthcoming Business plan upgrade.

Are the leads really exclusive to me?

The leads are sourced from public databases, so they are not sold exclusively to one contractor. However, very few contractors know how to access or systematically use this data. By using GetCodeViolations, you gain a massive time advantage, accessing organized leads daily that most of your competitors will never see, making them effectively exclusive in your market.

What if there are no violations in my city?

GetCodeViolations actively covers over 130 cities across 29+ states, and coverage is continually expanding. You can check your specific area during the sign-up process. If your city is not yet covered, you can select nearby major metros or request your city be added to our monitoring list for future expansion.
