How we score buildings

How 72 Lee Avenue's risk score is calculated

It estimates the probability that HPD inspectors will find serious or dangerous violations at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

Building code violations (past 7 years)

Building code violations issued by the Dept. of Buildings (separate from HPD housing violations).
