CodeViolations: The Contractor's Lead Generation Platform
CodeViolations is a specialized SaaS platform designed to help contractors find high-intent leads by aggregating public code violation records from city and county databases across the United States. The service scans hundreds of municipal databases daily to identify properties with active building code violations—such as damaged roofs, plumbing issues, electrical hazards, peeling paint, and HVAC problems—and delivers these leads directly to contractors' dashboards.
How It Works
- Data Aggregation: The platform automatically collects code violation data from official city and county government databases, ensuring access to fresh, public records.
- Categorization: Each violation is categorized by trade (roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, painting, etc.), allowing contractors to filter leads relevant to their services.
- Daily Updates: New violations appear in the dashboard within 24 hours of being filed, with email notifications available for instant alerts.
- Actionable Information: Contractors receive property addresses, violation types, dates, and locations—everything needed to reach out to homeowners who must fix issues or face fines.
Key Features
- Unlimited Leads: Flat monthly fee ($49 for Pro plan) with no per-lead charges

Value Proposition
Unlike traditional lead services like HomeAdvisor or Angi that sell the same leads to multiple contractors at high per-lead costs, CodeViolations provides exclusive access to public data that most contractors don't know exists. Homeowners with code violations have high urgency to hire contractors since they face fines if issues aren't resolved, resulting in better conversion rates and less competition.
The platform offers a cost-effective alternative to expensive lead generation services, with contractors reporting that just one job typically covers an entire year's subscription cost.
