Sample Report

*** *** Avenue, Bronx

The Verdict

"Run, don't walk — unless you're a fan of lead-flavored water and roaches that have more rights than the tenants. This building is essentially a museum of local law violations that the landlord is collecting like Pokémon cards."

729 open violations. Somehow "charming prewar" didn't mention that.
