Managing properties in New York City is no easy task. Between HPD inspections, DOB filings, DEP updates, and DOH regulations, it’s easy for things to slip through the cracks — until a violation shows up when you least expect it.
That’s where CityWatch by Environmental Safeguard Solutions (ESS) comes in.
CityWatch is an innovative, free-to-use software platform that automatically monitors your properties and alerts you the moment a new violation is issued — whether it’s from HPD, DOB, DEP, or DOH.
Why Property Owners and Managers Need CityWatch
1. Real-Time Alerts
Most systems update violations weekly or even monthly. CityWatch refreshes in real-time, ensuring that you know about violations the second they appear. This gives owners and managers a crucial head start to respond, schedule inspections, and begin resolving issues before they escalate.
2. Portfolio Tracking Made Simple
Whether you manage one building or one hundred, CityWatch organizes all your properties in one clean, easy-to-navigate dashboard. View your entire portfolio’s compliance status, track open violations, and download reports with just a few clicks.

Missing a violation notice can lead to hefty penalties and enforcement actions. CityWatch eliminates that risk by ensuring nothing goes unnoticed — so you can stay compliant, avoid fines, and protect your bottom line.
