Building safety
Fire, gas, electrical, structure.
The failures that make a building dangerous rather than annoying.
How it works
You search. We read. You decide.
Start with what you have
You don't need to know who owns it or who runs it. Any of those reaches the same record.
We read every source at once
HPD, DOB, DOHMH, 311, NYPD, FDNY, housing court, evictions, liens. All public, all scattered, none of them talking to each other.
You get a verdict, not a dump
Ranked by priority, measured against buildings like it, and traceable back to the agency that published each figure.
What's in a report
What a report actually covers.
Five areas, read the same way on every building – so two reports are comparable even when the buildings are not – plus what people say about the place.
Health hazards
Lead, mold, pests, bedbugs.
What you cannot see on a viewing and cannot easily undo once you have signed.
Living comfort
Heat and hot water, plumbing, noise.
The day-to-day of actually living there, in February as well as June.
Landlord record
Evictions, harassment, court cases, liens.
How the owner behaves when something breaks – across every building they hold.
Area context
Crime, street noise, construction nearby.
Context, benchmarked against the borough rather than left as a raw count.
What people say
Google reviews, unedited and unranked.
Most NYC buildings have none. When there are none the report says so, rather than inventing a signal – and none of it ever reaches the verdict.
Reviews never feed the verdict. It is computed from public records alone, so what a building’s neighbours think of it cannot move the grade in either direction.
