GetCodeViolations

GetCodeViolations is a game-changing lead generation platform engineered exclusively for contractors seeking a decisive edge. It transforms overlooked public data into a river of high-intent, exclusive leads. Every single 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 escalating fines. GetCodeViolations operates as your 24/7 digital scout, monitoring hundreds of government databases across 29+ states and 130+ cities to find these urgent needs. It delivers them directly to your dashboard, categorized by trade and ready for action. This system fundamentally disrupts the traditional lead-buying model. Instead of competing with 5-10 other contractors for expensive, shared referrals on platforms like HomeAdvisor, you get first access to leads sourced from public records for a simple flat monthly fee. Built for roofers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, painters, and general contractors, GetCodeViolations unlocks a hidden market of motivated customers, empowering you to grow your business with predictable, high-quality opportunities.

Nationwide Violation Monitoring

Our proprietary system continuously scans and aggregates code violation data from hundreds of city and county government databases across more than 29 states and 130 cities. This automated, daily monitoring ensures you never miss a high-potential lead in your service area, giving you a comprehensive view of local demand driven by legal necessity.

Trade-Specific Lead Filtering

Transform raw data into actionable intelligence. Instantly filter incoming violations by specific trade categories such as roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and painting. This precision targeting ensures you only spend time on leads that perfectly match your services, dramatically increasing your sales efficiency and closing rate.

Daily Dashboard & Email Alerts

Access a centralized, live dashboard showing all active violations in your selected areas, complete with address, violation details, and date. Complement this with configurable daily email notifications that alert you the moment new, relevant leads are discovered, guaranteeing you can reach out before your competition even knows the need exists.

Data Export & Integration

Easily export your curated lead lists into CSV format with a single click. This feature allows for seamless integration into your existing workflow, whether for organizing mail campaigns, importing into your CRM, or assigning leads to your field team, putting powerful data portability at your fingertips.

For Roofing Contractors

Discover homeowners with cited roof damage, exposed decking, or active water intrusion. These are not prospects considering an upgrade; they are property owners under a legal mandate to repair their roof, making them highly motivated and ready to hire, allowing you to fill your schedule with profitable, urgent repair jobs.

For Plumbing & HVAC Specialists

Identify properties with critical failures like sewage backups, broken water lines, or non-functional heating systems. These violations often require immediate attention to make a home habitable, positioning you as a vital solution to a pressing health and safety issue that cannot be ignored or delayed.

For Electrical Contractors

Find leads for serious electrical hazards such as exposed wiring, overloaded panels, or missing GFCI outlets. These are safety-critical repairs that inspectors prioritize, giving you access to customers who understand the urgency and are seeking a qualified, reliable professional to achieve compliance quickly.

For Painting & General Contractors

Target properties cited for peeling exterior paint, especially with noted lead paint hazards, or structural issues. These violations create a clear scope of work and a homeowner who is already aware of the problem, streamlining the estimate process and improving project close rates.

GetCodeViolations operates on a straightforward, transparent subscription model designed for contractor growth. The platform offers a flat rate of $49 per month, which includes unlimited leads from your selected service areas. This contrasts sharply with pay-per-lead services that can cost $15-$80 for a single shared referral. A full 7-day free trial is available with no credit card required, allowing you to explore the dashboard, see live leads in your area, and experience the transformative potential of the platform with zero risk or obligation.

How is this different from HomeAdvisor or Angi?

GetCodeViolations provides exclusive leads sourced from public government data, meaning you are often the first and only contractor to know about the need. On shared lead platforms, you compete with 5-10 other businesses for the same customer and pay per referral. We offer a flat monthly fee for unlimited access to leads that are not available on those consumer-facing services.

What information do I get with a lead?

On the Pro plan, you receive the property address, city, specific violation details, the category (trade), and the date it was filed. This gives you everything needed to initiate contact via mail or door-knocking. Owner names and phone numbers are slated for inclusion in a future Business plan upgrade.

Are the homeowners really motivated to fix the issue?

Absolutely. A code violation is an official order from the local government. Homeowners are given a compliance deadline (typically 30-90 days) and face daily fines until the issue is resolved and re-inspected. This legal pressure creates a level of intent and urgency far beyond a typical homeowner seeking a quote.

How current is the lead data?

Our system performs daily scans of municipal databases. New violations are typically added to your dashboard within 24-48 hours of being published by the city or county, ensuring you receive fresh, actionable leads every single day and can act while the homeowner is still searching for a contractor.
