We're assembling the most complete, fully-sourced audit of Seattle's housing-code enforcement ever built from public records — how complaints move, whether inspections happen, whether violations get enforced, and whether penalties are ever collected. One standard, applied evenly: landlords, developers, public agencies, and the City itself, all measured against the same record.
No agency, no party, no funding from anyone we examine. Accountable only to the record.
Every finding traces to a public record. Where the record is silent, we say so — we don't fill the gap.
The same rules for private landlords, public agencies, and the City itself. Fairness under the law has no exceptions.
