A free web tool for NYC homeowners and small landlords. Answer six questions about your building and get the exact list of filings, inspections, and signs the City requires, with deadlines and links to the official agency pages.

Yes. The checklist is free during early access, and the free checklist will stay free. Paid extras like email reminders and violation monitoring are planned.

No. No Fines organizes public requirements in plain English to help you stay on top of them. It is not legal advice and is not affiliated with the City of New York. Always confirm specifics with the agency before a deadline.

Nowhere. Your answers and your checklist save only on the device you're using. There is no account, and your building details are not sent to a server.

The rules were last fully reviewed June 2026, and every change is logged publicly in the Rule updates list on the Resources page. Each rule links to the official agency page so you can always confirm the source.

Search your address on ZoLa, the City's property map: it shows year built and square footage right on the page. If you don't know the year built, No Fines assumes the stricter rules for older buildings apply until you update it.

Yes. Your checklist saves only on your device, so use Download backup in the Property tab, then Restore a backup from the link at the bottom of the homepage on your new device.
