Sir-No data base exits within the Township which would list every property
maintenance violation in every Township structure.

We can search through our property cards by hand to determine property
maintenance violations for the period you mention.

I would anticipate that such a search will take ten to twelve hours. We
have office staff who earn fourteen dollars per hour who could fulfill
your request.

Please advise if that amount is amenable to you.
