Landlords with low litigation rates in Queens

It means the landlord’s HPD litigation rate per unit is below the citywide average. It does not mean the landlord has never been involved in litigation.

No. The filter compares a rate per unit with the citywide average; it does not rule out cases. Review available records for the landlord and the specific property.

Use the rate as a starting point, then check records and renter feedback tied to the property you are considering. A landlord-level measure may not describe conditions or service at an individual building.

Not by itself. Litigation rates do not establish repair quality or response times, so look for building-specific records and renter reports about maintenance.

The filter uses HPD litigation rates per unit and includes landlords whose rates are below the citywide average. The comparison is based on the rate, rather than a simple count of cases.

Treat it as one part of your due diligence, not a decision on its own. Check the property’s records, read renter feedback, and confirm that the listed landlord or manager is responsible for the building.
