Research services ยท Request-based

Know the building. Follow the record.

STLCA assembles public records into readable, source-backed research. A report shows what was documented, how the record changed, and which questions remain unresolved.

Property profile

Rental property history

Complaint and Notice of Violation chronology, visible inspection dates, repeat reports and associated source references for a requested property.

Enforcement timeline

Complaint-to-closure review

Event chronology, status and closure-language review, available follow-up evidence, and clearly identified missing links.

Custom assignment

Comparative and district research

Scope-defined comparisons for journalists, legal researchers, public agencies, policymakers and residents, with methods and uncertainty documented.

What the client receives

Readable findings

A clear timeline and explanatory summary, with factual observations kept separate from interpretations and unresolved questions.

Inspectible evidence trail

Source references, retrieval dates, scope limits, data-quality warnings and available official documents. The exact deliverables depend on the request.

No automatic completeness promise. Public records can be missing, delayed or distributed across systems. STLCA does not provide legal advice or official City enforcement decisions. Pricing and scope are confirmed after reviewing the request.
