If you aren't able to find things online, you could certainly contact the specific building/inspections departments of the cities in which you're buying, and they can likely share pertinent information.Keep in mind, some cities don't even require TISH inspecitons at the time of sale, and most properties will have plenty of minor code violations regardless (I've seen numerous TISH reports miss things as easy as smoke detector requirements).I don't have any good ideas on the high-equity absentee owner lists - someone working full-time on the buying side would be better suited for that question.Good luck!
