How ScoutMyBuilding works

1. You enter a Chicago street address.
2. We query the City’s Building Violations and 311 Service Requests open data (Socrata SODA).
3. You get a free summary: open violation count, recent rodent and building 311 activity, and a winter habitability score with a transparent method.
4. Optional: $4.99 unlocks the full list plus PDF; $2.99/mo watches for new records.

ScoutMyBuilding summarizes publicly available City data. It is informational only — not legal advice, not a housing inspection, and not a guarantee of current building conditions. City records may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate. Always verify with the City of Chicago Department of Buildings, 311, and your own walkthrough before signing a lease.
