Understanding Building Safety in Kansas City

Kansas City has 73,444 buildings in our database, scored from 0 to 100 based on government violation records. The average safety score is 73/100, 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 Kansas City, 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
