infrastructure) and Environmental Services (WPRDC dataset pittsburgh-pli-violations-report, since June 2020, reloaded daily) by street address, Allegheny County parcel id, case number, neighborhood, case type, status, investigation outcome and investigation-date window; newest investigation first or oldest first. Each row is one entry of a case file: an investigation (date, outcome, findings), a cited violation (code section, title, text, instructions) or a court entry (date, docket, decision), with the case's address, parcel id, coordinates, ward, source_url and licence. The live table held 48,000 rows (13,863 case files) on 2026-10-27, fewer than the roughly 560,000 the dataset notes describe, so an address without results may still have older cases. An empty page is a valid result. - Instructions: Use to check a Pittsburgh property's code-enforcement history (address or parcel_id from search_permits), to read one case file (case_number returns all its rows) or to watch new investigations (investigated_since the last day you checked). Violation and court rows have no investigation date, so a date filter returns investigation rows; fetch the case_number for the rest. - Cost: 5 credits per call - Capability file: [Search violations](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/data-wprdc-org/code-enforcement/search_violations) Accepted options: - `address` (string): Case-insensitive word match: every word must start a word of the column (prefix), in any order. Street line only (1815 Lowrie St, 56 South 12th Street); text after a comma is ignored and Street, Avenue, Road, Drive, North, South and similar become the city's abbreviations (ST, AVE, RD, DR, N, S). Example: `
` - `case_number` (string): Case file number, exact (CF-PLI-2025-063616); returns every row of the case. Case-insensitive. Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9-]{2,29}$. Example: `` - `case_type` (string): Case-insensitive word match: every word must start a word of the column (prefix), in any order of the case file type: building without a permit, vacant building, fire safety, weeds, construction site, illegal dumping. Example: `` - `cursor` (string): next_cursor from the previous page; repeat the same filters with it. Pattern: ^[0-9]+$. Example: `` - `investigated_since` (string): Only investigation rows on or after this day, YYYY-MM-DD. Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$. Example: `` - `investigated_until` (string): Only investigation rows on or before this day, YYYY-MM-DD. Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$. Example: `` - `limit` (number): Rows per page. Example: `25` - `neighborhood` (string): Case-insensitive word match: every word must start a word of the column (prefix), in any order of the city neighborhood. Example: `` - `outcome` (string): Case-insensitive word match: every word must start a word of the column (prefix), in any order of the investigation outcome: violation found, no violation found, violation resolved, taking case to court. Example: `` - `parcel_id` (string): Allegheny County parcel id (block and lot), exact: 16 characters as the datasets store it (0048J00305000000) or the county's dashed form (0048-J-00305-0000-00). The same id joins permits, violations and condemned properties. Pattern: ^[0-9A-Za-z -]+$. Example: `` - `sort` (string): investigated_desc: newest investigation first; investigated_asc: oldest first (a case's history in order). Rows without an investigation date come last. Example: `investigated_desc` - `status` (string): Case-insensitive word match: every word must start a word of the column (prefix), in any order of the case status: under investigation, in violation, in court, closed.
