Stop NYC Fines
Before They Start
FineShield monitors DOB, HPD, ECB, FDNY & OATH violations in real time. Get instant alerts, AI-powered analysis, and auto-generated dispute letters — saving NYC property owners thousands in fines.
NYC Property Violations Are Expensive and Easy to Miss
New York City issues over 500,000 building violations every year across 10 different agencies. A single missed violation can escalate from a warning to a $25,000 fine — and most property owners don't even know until it's too late.
Violations Go Unnoticed
Agencies file violations without notifying you directly. By the time you check manually, penalties have already compounded. Most landlords discover violations months after they're filed.
Fines Escalate Rapidly
What starts as a $500 violation can balloon to $25,000 with penalties, defaults, and late fees. NYC agencies add surcharges every 30 days without additional notice to the property owner.
Disputes Are Complex
Fighting violations at OATH hearings requires legal knowledge, proper documentation, and tight deadlines. Most property owners simply pay fines they could have successfully contested.

FineShield is an AI-powered iOS app designed for NYC property owners, landlords, and property managers. It monitors building violations in real time from 10 New York City agencies — DOB, HPD, FDNY, OATH, ECB, DEP, DOHMH, DSNY, DOT, and DOS — and alerts you immediately when a violation is filed against any of your properties.

FineShield is built for anyone who owns or manages property in New York City. This includes individual landlords with one or two buildings, property managers overseeing large portfolios, real estate investors, construction professionals, and management companies.

FineShield is currently available exclusively on iOS (iPhone and iPad). We are actively developing an Android version and plan to launch it in the near future. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified when the Android version becomes available.
FineShield monitors violations from 10 NYC agencies: DOB (Department of Buildings), HPD (Housing Preservation and Development), FDNY (Fire Department of New York), OATH (Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings), ECB (Environmental Control Board), DEP (Department of Environmental Protection), DOHMH (Department of Health and Mental Hygiene), DSNY (Department of Sanitation), DOT (Department of Transportation), and DOS (Department of Standards). This comprehensive coverage ensures no violation slips through the cracks.
FineShield continuously polls NYC Open Data APIs — the same official databases used by city agencies. When you add a building, we use your property's BIN (Building Identification Number), BBL (Borough Block Lot), and address to match violations across all 10 agencies. This means you get the same data that appears in official NYC records, delivered directly to your phone in real time.
