Understanding Building Safety in New York City
New York City has 349,291 buildings in our database, scored from 0 to 100 based on government violation records. The average safety score is 54/100, with 100% of buildings having at least one violation on record. This is moderate — many buildings have room for improvement in maintenance and safety compliance.
Before signing a lease in New York 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
