Give it NYC addresses (or BINs) and get one tenant-complaint profile per building from HPD's official complaint records on NYC Open Data. It includes complaint and open counts, emergency and heat/hot-water problems, a breakdown by category, and the most recent problems.

Use cases

  • Property managers and owners: watch your buildings for new heat, leak or pest complaints before they turn into HPD violations.
  • Contractors (plumbing, boiler/heating, pest control, painting, windows): find buildings with repeated problems in your trade.
  • Lenders, insurers and due-diligence teams: treat tenant complaint history as an early warning of deferred maintenance.
  • Buyers, brokers and tenant advocates: check how a building is really run before you sign.

Input

{ "addresses": ["1248 St Marks Ave, Brooklyn"], "bins": [], "lookbackDays": 365, "maxProblemsPerBuilding": 25, "maxBuildings": 100 }

Example output (trimmed, real run Oct 20, 2026)

{
"address": "1248 SAINT MARK'S AVENUE, Brooklyn, NY", "bin": "3036097", "bbl": "3013610043",
"lookbackDays": 365, "complaints": 18, "openComplaints": 0, "problems": 35,
"emergencyProblems": 15, "heatHotWaterProblems": 9, "lastHeatComplaint": "2026-02-11",
"problemsByCategory": { "HEAT/HOT WATER": 9, "PAINT/PLASTER": 4, "PLUMBING": 4, "...": 0 },
"lastComplaintDate": "2026-09-08",
"recentProblems": [ { "received": "2026-09-08", "category": "PAINT/PLASTER", "problem": "DIRTY OR UNSANITARY", "status": "CLOSE" } ]
}

A complaint can cover several problems, which is why problems is greater than or equal to complaints.

Privacy

Apartment numbers, tenant details and coordinates are deliberately left out. Output is aggregated at the building level.

Pricing

Data and limitations

Source: NYC HPD "Housing Maintenance Code Complaints and Problems" (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/ygpa-z7cr), queried live through the public Socrata API. A complaint is a tenant report, not a confirmed violation. The dataset can lag by a few days and has errors. This tool is not legal advice and makes no claim about any building's condition.
