Code Violation help

[Alain Perez-Majul]

Hey guys,

For those of you who have played around with the "code violation" list before, which violations exactly are you targeting? Is there a best "time frame" to target (old vs new?)? Which become liens? Looking into them might take work, but it's simple. Which ones to look for is still a bit trickier for me.

Any information on going about this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance :)

I've heard that recently closed violations are the best ones to target, if you can break it down like that. Makes sense. Here is a landlord or owner of a vacant property who just had to spend a bunch of money to have them mow the grass or to fix something. How motivated might this person be to sell right now? :)

Here's a question for you: Did you get the code violations list for your area? How did you get it? Was it posted somewhere or who did you have to ask to get it?
