What we check
One tax lot. Every record that matters.
Records from HPD, DOB, DOHMH, DOI and 311, keyed to the city's own building ID, not a loose address match. If a source doesn't answer, we say so.

What this can't tell you
The limits are part of the product.
A record shows what was reported, not what it's like to live there.
Whether it was fixed
Violations stay open until someone files a correction.
Anything unreported
A quiet record can mean a good building or quiet tenants.
Rent stabilization
We can say it's likely. Only DHCR can confirm it.
