Interior Repair & Finishes · five boroughs
Every one of these interior violations has a correction deadline. Somebody has to do the work.
HPD writes a Class A, B or C violation for a defective floor, a broken wall, a fallen ceiling — and the order carries a date by which it must be corrected and certified. The landlord either hires an interior contractor or carries the violation and the penalty. We watch every one of those orders across the five boroughs, filter to interior work, and name the managing agent registered with HPD.
Every violation in New York has a deadline, a penalty, and somebody who has to hire you.
Interior Repair & Finishes leads, $199 a month.
7 days free on Alert — three digests. Card on file, first charge on day 8. No contract, cancel any time. That works out to about $1 per ranked interior lead with the owner or managing agent already named on it.
The arithmetic, in interior job values
One job. That is the whole break-even.
Interior work carries the highest median declared value of any division we track. That is what makes the subscription arithmetic almost embarrassing.
Job values are the declared valuations filed with the City on work at the buildings we score, not our estimates. Where a trade has too few declared values to be honest about, we do not publish a median — which is why mold and lead lead with volume and the correction deadline instead of a job value.
One real record, start to finish
What an interior lead actually looks like
Public record, pulled from the feed, scored, and handed over with the contact resolved. Every fact below is real and free to anyone who knows where to look. The agent's name and the play are what you are paying for, so they stay in the digest.
8■■ East 179 Street Bronx

The Play
There is a right and a wrong thing to quote off this order, and the wrong one loses the call. Subscribers get the play.
The house number is masked here because a full address is a free route to the name. Subscribers get it unmasked. Every lead carries a play like this — it is the difference between a row of data and knowing what to say when they pick up.
Why this is not a lead list
Marketplace leads sell intent. A violation is an obligation with a date on it.
A homeowner filling in a form has decided to renovate. A landlord holding an open Class C order has a legal deadline and an inspector who will come back. Those are not the same buyer, and only one of them is in a hurry.
Shared lead marketplaces sell the same form to as many contractors as will pay for it, so the job goes to whoever calls in the first ten minutes and quotes lowest. A violation is not sold to you — it is public record we found, ranked, and handed you before your competitors ran the same query.
Nobody in a marketplace tells you the deadline. The deadline is the entire reason the call converts.
How it works
Four steps, every night, before you are awake.
We read the city, nightly
Fourteen datasets — DOB, ECB, HPD, FISP — refreshed every night. See every one on the data page.
We keep the ones with a deadline
Most of what the city publishes is paperwork. We keep records that carry a correction date, a filing date or an unpaid balance — something that forces a decision.
We name the human
Owner of record, or the managing agent registered with HPD where one is on file, with a confidence band on the resolution so you know how hard the number was to find.
It is in your inbox before you open the truck
Ranked, filtered to your trade and boroughs, with The Play on each one. 6:00am every weekday, on every plan.

We are a commercial general contractor that got tired of buying leads from people who had never run a job. That is the whole origin story.

Questions
Interior contractors ask these first.
Is interior work really where the violations are?
It is the largest division we track. Interior repair orders are the most common thing HPD writes, because most of what goes wrong in a rented apartment is a surface a tenant lives against.
These are rental buildings — do landlords pay?
They pay because the alternative is a penalty and a re-inspection. That is the difference between a violation lead and a renovation enquiry: the budget already exists, and the deadline decides when it is spent.
Do you include the apartment number?
Yes, where HPD publishes it. The order text names the room and the unit, which is what lets you quote without a site visit.
What does it cost, and is there a contract?
$199 a month for one trade in one borough, and the first 7 days are free. Your card goes on file when you start and is first charged on day 8 -- cancel before then and you are never charged. No contract, cancel any time. Every trade-and-borough combination is the same $199, so two trades across two boroughs is four of them, $796. There is no bigger plan and no volume discount. A borough with no filings in your division is not offered at all, so there is no way to be charged for coverage that does not exist. If you want to be the only contractor sent this trade in a borough, you can buy every seat on it at $199 a seat -- on a thin combination that is a small number; ask us how many it holds.
How many other contractors get the same lead?
Capped per trade and borough rather than sold to whoever turns up. The point of a cap is that the lead is still worth calling when you get it.
Where does the data come from?
NYC Open Data — DOB, ECB, HPD and the FISP filings — plus the registration and tax roll records used to resolve the contact. It is public record. The work is in filtering it, ranking it and naming the human, and that is what you are paying for.
