Dark bars count dated records in the last 30 days; grey bars, standing lists. A "+" means the count reached the pull limit, so there are at least that many. Counts are of records matching Deal Radar's filters (open, residential, recent), not every record in the dataset.

What each signal means

Code violations

The city cited the property for its condition. Landlords tired of repairs and owners who can't afford them both show up here.

Usually from: City code enforcement. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 14, halving every 180 days.

Unsafe buildings

A building department order: the property can't be lived in as is.

Usually from: Building department orders. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 22, halving every 365 days.

Vacant properties

No one lives there: registered vacant, cited as vacant, or flagged by the city.

Usually from: USPS vacancy, utility or city vacant registries. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 18, doesn't fade.

    Open cases on houses the city has slated for demolition or ordered boarded (about 200), refreshed every few weeks. Some cases are several years old and still open. No owner names or ZIP codes.

  • Columbia SC vacant residential buildingsColumbia, SC

    Open cases on vacant houses, including vacant buildings the owner has not registered with the city as the ordinance requires (about 760). A few non-residential buildings fall under 'not registered'. No owner names or ZIP codes.

    Open cases against landlords renting a home without the city's required rental permit (about 640), refreshed every few weeks.

What isn't here

  • Owner names, mailing addresses and phone numbers. Public pages show counts only; phones never come from these feeds.
  • Probate and divorce filings. They sit with the courts and several states restrict them; inside Parcel they come in by upload.
  • Records a city or county doesn't publish as open data. If yours has a feed we've missed, tell us and we'll check it.
