Dear Mr. Craven:
It has been brought to my attention that the data you requested - all rat violations issued between July 12, 2016 to present day - is now available online at NYC's Open Data portal. This data is updated daily, so it will give you real time information.
The data is located here<https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Health/Rodent-Inspection/p937-wjvj>. Once at the site, choose the blue "View Data" button. You will then need to filter the data a few times to get what you want. You do this by clicking on the "filter" button. You will then click on "Add a New Filter Condition" and choose "Inspection_Type" from the first dropdown menu and "is" from the second. From this data, you will again filter by clicking on the "Add a New Filter Condition" and choosing "Result" from the first dropdown menu and "is not" from the second. This data begins in 2009, so you will also have to add another filter condition for date; in this instance you would filter for "Inspection_Date" "is after" and use the calendar to choose the appropriate date. This will give you all the locations that did not pass inspection and were therefore issued notices of violation for the conditions noted.
I hope this has been helpful and thank you,
