PressureList · Chicago
Every week we pull Chicago building violations, Cook County tax sales and county ownership records, then stack the distress signals on the same properties — violations + absentee owner + tax trouble — and rank what is left. You get the owners and the addresses to mail them at. No dashboard to learn. A clean file, every Monday.
Real rows from this week's list. Filter by ZIP, property type, or signal. Full mailing addresses are shown on the first 15 rows; the rest unlock in the free sample.
| Score | Property | ZIP | Type | Viol. | Open | Owner | Owner mailing | Taxes owed | Years owned |
|---|
| Small Multi | 3,522 |
| Apartments | 2,319 |
| Single Family | 1,355 |
| Commercial | 1,184 |
| Condo | 298 |
| Residential Other | 285 |
| Vacant Land | 95 |
| Unknown | 40 |
| Other | 38 |
Every row carries the violation counts and latest violation date, the owner name and mailing address from county records, tax-sale status and amounts, the last sale date and price, and how many years the owner has held the property. Absentee owners are flagged. The score shows its work — it is built from the signals themselves, so you can re-sort the file your own way.
