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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building assessed value

The city's assessed value reflects building size and neighborhood — the model uses it as an additional size and location signal.

Neighborhood location

The model uses precise location as a proxy for neighborhood-level risk patterns — some blocks have systematically higher violation rates.
