What does a low litigation rate mean on this NYC page?

It means the landlord’s HPD litigation rate per unit is below the citywide average. The filter describes recorded litigation, not the overall condition or management quality of a building.

Does a below-average HPD litigation rate mean a landlord has no cases?

No. The filter includes landlords whose rate is below the citywide average, which does not mean their recorded rate is zero. Review the available records for more context.

Can I use this filter to judge a specific NYC building?

Use it as a starting point, then check the available information for the building you are considering. A landlord-level rate may not reflect the history or current condition of every property in that landlord’s portfolio.

Does this page show whether a landlord will respond to repairs?

No. A litigation rate does not establish how a landlord handles repair requests or predict future conduct. Look at building-specific records and other available information before deciding.

How is the low-litigation filter defined?

The filter identifies landlords with HPD litigation rates below the citywide average, measured per unit. It is a relative threshold, not a finding that a landlord has no litigation.

Landlords with low litigation rates in NYC

220,018 landlords with low litigation rates in NYC appear in Openigloo's records, each with a portfolio and an open-data history. This filter can help you identify owners and managers whose recorded HPD litigation rate per unit is below the citywide average. That measure gives you a starting point for reviewing a landlord’s history, but it does not describe every dispute or predict how a particular tenancy will go.

Before signing, compare the litigation information with the landlord’s portfolio and other available records for the building you are considering. Check whether the records relate to the same owner or manager, and consider the size and composition of the portfolio. A below-average rate is a data point, not proof that a building is well maintained or that issues will be resolved promptly.
