What's driving this score

These are the three data points that most influenced this building's score — ranked by how much weight the model placed on each one.

Number of apartments

The number of residential units affects how the model interprets complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market conditions and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building size

Total residential square footage — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, HVAC, etc.) that can fail.
