Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Query link. This opens a simple form that lets you pull records straight out of the city's system.

Run a search

In the Where box type 1=1 (meaning "show everything"), in the Out Fields box type INCIDENT_NUMBER,REQUEST_TYPE,REQUEST_STATUS,ADDRESS1,CITY,POSTAL_CODE,PARCEL_ID,PropertyOwnerName,REPORTED_DATE, put REPORTED_DATE DESC in the Order By Fields box so the newest cases come first, set Result Record Count to how many rows you want, choose HTML as the format, and click Query (GET).

Read the results

The cases appear below the form, one property per block.

To narrow to active cases, swap 1=1 for REQUEST_STATUS='Open' in the Where box and run it again.

Record the data

For each property, capture the incident number, request type, request status, street address, city, ZIP, parcel ID, property owner name (filled on some records), and reported date. When the owner is blank, run the parcel ID through the Shelby County Assessor's site to get the owner and mailing address.
