Syracuse records list 1,074 code violations in a 30-day citation window
The September 7 extract links those records to 439 cases. It describes recorded enforcement activity, rather than a count of homes or households.
Syracuse’s public code-enforcement dataset lists 1,074 violation records linked to 439 cases for citations dated August 8 through September 6, 2026. The extract offers a snapshot of recorded enforcement activity involving housing and other properties.
Of those violation records, 936 were marked Open and 138 Closed in the source. These figures describe the status attached to the returned records at extraction. They are not a count of every open case in Syracuse.
Interior surfaces, overgrowth, and trash and debris were the three most frequent exact violation descriptions in the extract:
| Description | Violation records | Distinct cases |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 PMCNYS - Section 305.3 - Interior Surfaces | 77 | 62 |
| SPCC - Section 27-72 (f) - Overgrowth | 75 | 75 |
| SPCC - Section 27-72 (e) -Trash & Debris | 74 | 74 |
One case can contain several violations, including multiple records under the same description. Cases can also appear in more than one row of this table, so the case counts should not be added together as a count of separate properties.
What the extract can tell us
The extract has not been separated into residential and commercial properties. It does not establish the number of affected buildings or households. An administrative code record also does not independently verify a property’s present condition or establish a court finding.
Returned citation dates ranged from August 10 to September 4, within the requested window. This analysis does not establish a change in enforcement over time; comparable earlier periods were not analyzed for this article.
Source and method
Atlantic Civic Ledger counted distinct published violation numbers in the City of Syracuse’s code dataset, retrieved September 7, 2026 at 22:47 UTC. The public data service was queried for citation dates on or after August 8 and before September 7, using its declared UTC date basis.
Original responses were preserved; counts and record identifiers reconciled before and after retrieval. The table groups exact source descriptions without merging code categories.
