Below is information copied automatically from metadata.phila.gov:
Violations issued by the Department of Licenses and Inspections in reference to the Philadelphia Building Construction and Occupancy Code. The Philadelphia Building Construction and Occupancy Code contains the local modifications to the ICC codes. Please be aware that for plumbing related items, Philadelphia exclusively uses the Philadelphia Plumbing Code and does not use the ICC plumbing codes. Building codes are generally intended to be applied by architects, engineers, constructors and regulators but are also used for various purposes by safety inspectors, environmental scientists, real estate developers, subcontractors, manufacturers of building products and materials, insurance companies, facility managers, tenants, and others.
L&I monitors building conditions in the City of Philadelphia and issues code violations ranging in severity for dangerous and unsafe conditions. Each Case cites the sections of the Philadelphia Code of which a property is found in violation.
These citations are known as Violations, which are given a unique Violation ID for each time the property is found to be in violation. The Violation Code corresponds to the section of the Philadelphia Code being violated and is further described in the synonymous Violation Description. Each Violation has a corresponding Case number and Location, initial date of violation, and Status from the most recent inspection of the Location. Each Case is also assigned a Priority, indicating whether the property is Non Hazardous, Unsafe, or Imminently Dangerous. Relevant dates are associated with each Case to indicate when the case was created/added, when it was last updated, and, in the event of a resolution, when the case was resolved.

Development Process:
When an inspector in the field decides to issue a violation on a property a case is created. Case data is entered into LNI’s Hansen application and stored in its back-end Oracle databases. Each night at 3am data from relevant LNI Oracle tables are generated into GIS layers on Geodb2 which was created via Phila.gov 2.0 initiative.
