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.

Permits

Work is being done: repairs, a remodel or a teardown, sometimes before a sale. A weak signal on its own.

Usually from: Building permits (pre-sale repairs). Weight in Deal Radar's score: 4, halving every 120 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.

  • Allentown open construction code casesAllentown, PA

    Open Uniform Construction Code enforcement cases (unpermitted work, unsafe conditions) from the city's EnerGov system (about 210 open, cases since January 2025), updated daily. A few house numbers carry halves (1616.5).

  • Allentown residential building permitsAllentown, PA

    Residential building permits from the city's EnerGov system (about 2,200 a year), updated daily. No work description, cost or owner is published, so this is a weak signal best stacked with others.

  • Allentown certified blighted propertiesAllentown, PA

    Properties the Blighted Property Review Committee has certified as blighted and not yet rehabilitated (about 35). Certification lets the redevelopment authority take the property by eminent domain, so owners are under real pressure to sell. Small list, updated when the committee meets; the certification date is month and year only.
