New York City rentals
The listing shows you the apartment.We show you the building.
Every rental is checked against the city’s own records — open violations, rat inspections, bedbug filings, noise complaints, evictions, harassment suits — before it reaches you. The ones that fail never appear.

What gets checked
Ten public datasets, per building, before anything is shown to you.

Open violations, by hazard class
Class C is immediately hazardous — no heat, lead paint, active infestation. Counts are weighed against the number of units, so a 200-unit building isn't punished for what would condemn a six-unit one.

Rats, roaches, mice
City rodent inspections over two years, separating active rat signs from routine passes, alongside HPD infestation violations — which name the pest, so roaches and rodents are counted apart.

Bedbugs
Landlords must file an annual bedbug report. We read the most recent filing for the building, including units that were re-infested after treatment.

Noise, inside and out
311 complaints for the building and for everything within 150 metres — a quiet building on a loud corner is still loud. Construction is read from the descriptor, where 311 actually files it.

Tenants who went to court
Heat cases, access warrants and tenant actions over two years — and separately the cases the city classes as harassment, brought when tenants allege the owner is trying to force them out.

Whether the owner even registered
Buildings with three or more units must register with HPD every year. No current registration often means an absentee owner, and it's near-impossible to discover any other way.

Building code and vacate orders
Open DOB and ECB violations, and any active vacate order. A vacate order disqualifies a listing on its own, whatever else the record says.

Evictions
Marshal evictions executed at the address over two years, measured against the unit count rather than reported as a raw number.

Getting out of it
Every subway station within a ten-minute walk and the lines it serves, measured from the building rather than the neighborhood centroid.
Priced against real comps
Every rent is scored against comparable units in the same neighborhood and bedroom count, with square footage estimated from the city's tax-lot records when a posting won't say. A price far below market is treated as a scam signal, not a bargain.
The block, not just the address
Subway lines within a ten-minute walk, food stores, parkland, and reported crime split into violent and property offences. Facts and distances — never a single neighborhood score, because that becomes a steering tool.
