identify egregious code violating property owners

[jessefarinacci]

What problem are you trying to solve?

I want to know if there is an overlap of city code violations for properties and property owners owning multiple properties.

Who will benefit (directly and indirectly) from your project?

The community will benefit by being able to possibly locate property owners which would not be flagged as especially delinquent on a case by case basis, but in the aggregate would be flagged.

What other resources/tools are currently serving the same need? How does your project set itself apart?

I'm not aware of any other tools or resources which satisfy this already.

Where can we find any research/data available/articles?

Owners - https://data.buffalony.gov/Government/2017-2018-Assessment-Roll/bxmp-ux8w
Violations - https://data.buffalony.gov/Quality-of-Life/Code-Violations/ivrf-k9vm

What help do you need now?

None. I want to lead the development of this project.

What are the next steps (validation, research, coding, design)?

Use the open data APIs to create the visualization.

How can we contact you outside of Github(list social media or places you're present)?

Please just use GitHub.

I have found 311 data to be useful, also. I started working on this a bit in R but have not had any time to flesh it out fully. Check out the repo here:

Nice! I installed R, how do I build/run this please?

I will write up a little tutorial later this week. Until then, check out R for Data Science.
