No. Violation history reflects records and may not capture conditions in real time. Use it as one input, then ask the building specific questions about maintenance response, inspections, and any recent repairs.

Openigloo uses NYC open records as an input for historical violation signals. Like any records-based signal, it can lag behind current circumstances. Always verify with the building directly.
