For Tenants
New York renting is hard enough. This is the part where you get some information back.
What you get, from day one
A paper trail that builds itself.
File a complaint, and it's timestamped, organized, and yours. If you ever need it — housing court, a deposit dispute, a conversation with a new landlord — it's there. Just ask.
The full picture on any building.
Search any of New York's 70,000 residential buildings before you sign or renew. Every HPD violation, every inspection, every flag on record. All in one place, free.
The worst landlords in the city, ranked.
See which landlords have the most complaints across their buildings. Know who you're dealing with before you deal with them.
A record of how your landlord responds.
Every reply — and every silence — is logged. You'll know how long it took. So will the next tenant.
A way to warn the next person.
What happened to you doesn't have to happen to them. One complaint on the record is a gift to whoever signs that lease next.
Will anything change?
A private complaint gets ignored. A public one is harder to walk away from. We won't promise your landlord responds tomorrow — but landlords who know their record is visible behave differently than ones who don't. That's the whole point.
