List of ordinance violations filed with the Department of Administrative Hearings. This data set reflects building code violations brought before the Chicago Department of Administrative Hearings. It does not reflect building code violations brought before the Circuit Court of Cook County. Each row of data represents a unique violation. Multiple violations may be associated with a single case.

Each case often consists of multiple hearings and may encounter continuances due to various circumstances before a final disposition is rendered.

The latest hearing status or disposition reflects the condition of the property at that time and may not reflect the current condition of the property.
