About Rent Rat
Know your building. Hold landlords accountable.
Rent Rat scores every residential building in New York City using public data from 22+ city sources. We cross-reference violations, complaints, fines, litigation, and more to produce a single distress score from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the worse the building conditions.
This app is free. It's built to help tenants understand what's happening in their building and hold landlords accountable.
Report a problem to add your voice to the data. Your reports help us track conditions that public records miss.
