ViolationFlow is a web application for self-managed HOA, condo, and townhome associations tracking violation and architectural review committee cases. Each case links a lot and owner to a deadline, status, responsible board member, and dated event timeline. Boards can send template-based email notices with sender, recipient, and exact time recorded. Photos retain separate capture and upload timestamps. Cure periods and fine ledgers can be configured, while each escalation waits for board approval. Owners can view cases and respond through secure links without accounts. CSV lot imports support mapping, preview, and undo; case chronologies export as dated PDFs. The free plan is free for 10 lots, five active cases, and one member seat. Monthly paid plans start at $15 a month for up to 50 lots and five seats; higher bands cover 51–150 and 151–300 lots.
