At Environmental Safeguard Solutions (ESS), our mission has always been to make compliance simpler, faster, and more transparent for New York City property owners and managers.
Now, we’re taking that mission to the next level with the launch of CityWatch — a powerful new software platform that keeps you instantly informed the moment your property receives a violation from HPD, DOB, DEP, or DOH.
Instant Alerts — No Delays, No Guesswork
CityWatch constantly monitors all major NYC agencies for new violations and notifies you immediately when one appears.
Most platforms update on a delay — sometimes days, sometimes weeks. With CityWatch, you’ll receive real-time email alerts the second a violation hits, giving you the ability to act fast and avoid unnecessary fines or enforcement actions.
All Your Buildings, One Dashboard
Managing multiple buildings across the city can be complicated, especially when each one might have its own set of compliance requirements.
CityWatch simplifies this by letting you track your entire portfolio in one clean, easy-to-use dashboard. You’ll see every violation in one place, complete with direct links to official city records for quick follow-up and documentation.
100% Free — No Subscription, No Limits
CityWatch is completely free to use.
No monthly fees. No hidden charges. No building limits.
It’s a tool we created to give back to the property owners, managers, and developers we work with every day — because staying compliant shouldn’t come with a price tag.
Beyond Alerts — We Clear Every Violation
What truly separates CityWatch from other platforms is that Environmental Safeguard Solutions doesn’t just alert you about violations — we clear them.
Our licensed team handles everything from:
- Lead-based paint inspections and abatement
- Mold assessments and remediation
- Asbestos surveys and removal
- DOB façade and parapet compliance (Local Law 126)
When you get an alert through CityWatch, you’re already connected to a company that can handle the entire resolution process from start to finish — including testing, remediation, affidavit filing, and HPD or DOB clearance.
How to Get Started
Signing up is quick and easy.

The ESS Difference
At ESS, we work in the field every day. We understand how stressful it can be to find out about a violation after the deadline has passed. That’s why we built CityWatch — to give property owners the same level of visibility that the agencies have, instantly and at no cost.
With CityWatch, you’ll always know what’s happening with your properties — and with ESS, you’ll always have the team to make it right.
Stay compliant. Stay informed. Stay protected — with CityWatch by Environmental Safeguard Solutions.
