Bad apartments don't announce themselves. Here's what waits for the renters who didn't look.
That fresh coat of paint is covering something. The city might have filed a dozen building code violations in the last two years — unresolved, unfixed. The listing won't mention them. Your landlord won't either. Once you've signed, you're their tenant, not their problem to impress.
Once you've signed, breaking the lease costs thousands. Knowing before costs nothing.
There are landlords in NYC who own 30+ buildings with hundreds of open complaints across them — and keep doing it because most renters check one building without knowing about the other 29. A pattern that's invisible from one address is obvious when you see the whole portfolio.
One bad landlord can mean 12 months of ignored repairs, withheld deposits, and legal headaches.
The permit history, violation record, 311 complaint log, fire incident reports — all public record. Just scattered across 15 different city databases that no individual has time to query. So most renters sign on information that's available but inaccessible.
We pull all of it. You read one report.
From the Possible podcast with Reid Hoffman
My favorite GPT‑3 service was a tool called Augrented, which would help tenants...Many people in that demographic wouldn’t necessarily have access to a lawyer — you can actually help people do things they wouldn’t be able to otherwise.
What you get
Our machine learning model analyzes every building's trajectory — not just its current violations — and predicts the likelihood of future code violations up to 12 months in advance. A building that's been clean for 10 years and started slipping two years ago is a different risk than one that's been consistent. You'd never know the difference without this.
We pull from 50+ government databases and connect permits, violations, complaints, fire incidents, 311 calls, and more — so you don't have to. Not just the last 6 months. The full history.

A building is only as good as the person managing it. We surface real owner names, contact info, and every other property in their portfolio — so patterns that were invisible from one address become unmistakable.
Read reviews from verified tenants, flag unhelpful ones, and contribute your own experience after you move in. The public record shows what was filed. Tenants tell you what it was like to actually live through it.
"I moved in 2890 frederick douglass blvd apt 4g in 2012, it was a nice, quiet, private building. Elevator, handicap accessibility, very clean, attentive porters and super. Dunno wtf happened, because since around 2018, no super, no porter, broken Elevator constantly (weeks at a time), and the worst part..... THE FRIGGIN RAT INFESTATION!!! I've called 311 repeatedly, complain to whomever I pos…"
"This website is false - there have been many reports to DOB and this building is in disrepair. The management is unhelpful at best and abusive at worst. I had a terrible experience living here with no heat and constantly sick. Unfortunately I didn’t document it well enough. The landlord also kept my security deposit unfairly and is just generally a bad person. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE LIVE HER…"
" Had my scooter stolen and the owner wouldn't release any CCTV footage. There is a camera in front of the building and they didnt want to release the video because I know one of the tenants took it. "
"DO NOT LIVE IN THIS APARTMENT!!! IT IS INFESTED WITH MICE!!!!!! Management is horrible. And unresponsive. The entire building had mice and no one did anything. After numerous reports. And 311 claims. Homeless people would often break into the building and steal packages throughout the year. Horrible experience!! "
"This is a complicated property and to help you do your due diligence, you can visit https://640riversidedrive.com. It's cheap for a reason, so don't play the lottery. It's a very problematic property that will only give you headaches. If you rich and can afford layers in the future, and will like to sue someone, this is the property for you."
" The Super (Superintendent) is very racist to those who aren’t jewish, or white people, including white passing latinos, this apartment building is in a very immigrant community, and he should be used to having immigrant residents, but he’s not. He’s rude to the kids, and rude to the men who go to the mosque nearby. He W…"
