What does a low open-violation rate mean on this NYC page?

It means the landlord’s open-violation rate per unit is below the citywide average. The measure is based on open violations, so it does not represent every issue a building may have.

Does a low rate mean a building has no open violations?

No. A rate below the citywide average can still reflect open violations. Review the available building-level history for the property you are considering.

How should I use this filter when researching a NYC landlord?

Use it to identify landlords whose open-violation rates per unit are below the citywide average. Then compare their reviews, portfolio details and available open-data history before drawing conclusions.

Does this filter tell me whether a specific NYC apartment is in good condition?

No. The filter summarizes a landlord’s open-violation rate per unit and does not establish the condition of an individual apartment. Check records for the specific building and inspect the apartment before signing.

Can a landlord on this page still have open violations in NYC?

Yes. The filter compares a rate with the citywide average; it does not require a landlord to have no open violations. Check the available history for the buildings relevant to your search.

Why compare reviews with open-violation history on this page?

The two sources offer different perspectives: reviews reflect renter experiences, while open-data history records violations. Comparing them can provide context, but neither alone guarantees what you will experience.

Landlords with low open violation rates in NYC

You can compare 102,320 landlords with low open violation rates in NYC on reviews, portfolio size and open-data history. This page can help you narrow your research to owners and managers whose open-violation rates are below the citywide average per unit. Use that measure as one point of comparison when deciding which landlords warrant a closer review; it does not describe every condition in a building or predict how an owner will respond to future issues.

Compare reviews and portfolio size with the available open-data history for each landlord. Check whether violation records relate to the specific building you are considering, and look for recurring issues rather than relying on a single rate. A below-average rate is a screening signal, not proof that a property is free of problems.
