How do I pull code violations records step by step?
The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety publishes its open code enforcement cases on the city's official open data portal, so every row in the dataset is an active case.
Go to the Los Angeles Open Data Portal
Navigate to data.lacity.org, the City of Los Angeles's official open data portal. Open code enforcement cases from the Department of Building and Safety are published here.
Open the Code Enforcement Case dataset
Search the portal for Building and Safety - Code Enforcement Case - Open (N), or go straight to the dataset page. This dataset already contains only open cases, so every row is an active enforcement case.
View the data table
The dataset opens in a spreadsheet-style explorer with columns like Case Number, the address split across House Number, Street Direction, Street Name, and Street Suffix, plus the case type and status.
Sort by the newest cases
Open the date-added column (ADDDTTM) menu and sort it descending so the most recently opened cases are at the top. You can also use the Filters panel to narrow by case type or ZIP code if you farm specific areas.
Export the list as a CSV
Click Export in the top right, keep Download file selected with the format set to CSV, and click Download.
Record the data
For each case, capture the case number, case type, status, parcel ID, ZIP code, the full property address (join the house number, direction, street name, and suffix columns), and the date the case was added. Use the parcel ID with the LA County Assessor to find the owner and mailing address.
