Understanding Building Safety in Dallas

Dallas has 236,046 buildings in our database, scored from 0 to 100 based on government violation records. The average safety score is 80/100, with 100% of buildings having at least one violation on record. This is relatively good — most buildings maintain acceptable safety standards.

Before signing a lease in Dallas, we recommend checking your potential building's safety score. Buildings with scores below 50 may have unresolved structural, fire safety, or habitability issues. Open violations are especially important — they indicate problems that have been officially documented but not yet fixed by the landlord.

What do the scores mean?

80–100: Excellent — minimal or no violations, well-maintained building
60–79: Good — some past violations but generally resolved promptly
40–59: Fair — multiple violations, some may still be open
Below 40: Poor — significant unresolved safety concerns, proceed with caution
