Buildings with low open violation rates near Frances Perkins Academy in NYC

It’s a filter designed to surface buildings with fewer open violation flags based on public record signals. You should still verify details with the building directly, since conditions can change.

No. Open violation data can lag real-world conditions, and it may not reflect every complaint or maintenance issue. Use the filter to reduce risk signals, then confirm on tours and in writing.

Start with the filtered results, then compare build-to-building patterns: what reviews and tenant Q&A say about repairs, response time, pests, and building upkeep. Look for consistency across multiple sources.

Ask about current repair backlogs, how they handle heat/hot water issues, pest prevention practices, and how they document and close out repairs. If a building claims improvements, ask for specifics you can verify.

It may help with record-based signals, but it does not replace on-the-ground confirmation. If pests are a concern, ask for recent treatment logs or evidence of completed work and check units and common areas during tours.

Even when the building looks good from records, you can still face application fees, deposits, and broker fees. Ask for the full cost breakdown before you sign so there are no surprises at move-in.

They come from NYC open records, which can lag real-world conditions. Treat the filter as a screening tool, not a live inspection, and confirm with the building before renting.
