City records show an open code case on [property address]. Repair orders come with deadlines and fines, and fixing everything is not always worth it.
I buy houses as-is, including the repairs the city has asked for, so the case stops being your problem.
The app fills in each owner's name and address and prints envelopes or labels.

- Likely-to-sell score 1–10 and the reasons
- Stack with absentee owner
- Map, property history, export one row per property to Excel / CSV
