How we score buildings

How 529 Gates Avenue's risk score is calculated

Risk factors

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.

Building size

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges, particularly pre-war construction without modern infrastructure.

Building assessed value

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