Seattle Housing Enforcement - Public Record Overview

All figures are drawn directly from the master LLT/RARE source dataset. CP, VI, and CT are record-type flags, not independent enforcement events. No inspection date/result is a data-visibility flag, not proof that no inspection occurred.

Data Limitations (from source): CP, VI, and CT are record-type flags, not independent enforcement events. No inspection date/result is a data-visibility flag - it is not proof that no inspection occurred. NOV Issued is a status flag; it does not by itself prove enforcement liability. Unassigned district rows are shown separately. Counts reflect the master source dataset boundary through 2025-12-31.

What the Dashboards Show

Each dashboard area focuses on a specific layer of the complaint-to-outcome path, making it possible to see where the public record is clear and where accountability gaps remain.

CP Records - Complaint Patterns

40,540 citywide. What residents reported, when records opened, how complaints are categorized, and what issue themes appear across the data.

No Inspection Date Visibility

36,106 records (64.2%) show no inspection date. Whether inspection dates, activity, or outcomes are visible in the public record for each complaint.

VI Records - Violation / Inspection

9,961 citywide. Records where a violation or inspection record type is present in the master dataset.
