Description These data sets include property and code violations from January 1st, 2010 to December 31st, 2021. The data were accessed from boston.data.gov under Public Works Violations and Building and Property Violations. Code violations are issued by the Public Works Department of Code Enforcement Division for breaches of State and City sanitary codes. Building and Property violations are issued by the Building and Structures Division of the Inspectional Services Department and address issues in with housing, health, sanitation, and safety regulations. These data have been processed to generate metrics at three analytic levels: record (Violations.2010_2021), parcel (Violations.2010_2021.Parcel), and neighborhood level (Violations.2010_2021.Neighborhood).
These data sets were constructed as part of a collaboration with Boston’s Problem Properties Task Force funded by the National Science Foundation’s Law and Social Science Program.
