### 5/5 — Awesome noise feature

*2025-05-10*

I love the new noise feature.  This will come in handy when looking for a new apartment.

### 5/5 — Renters' and Buyers' Killer App!

*2025-05-06*

This app has everything a NYC renter / buyer needs to learn about buildings and neighborhoods without having to go everywhere in person. So easy and intuitive to use. Nice job! And no data tracking ♥️

### 5/5 — ACRIS

*2022-05-21*

I would pay good money for this if you ever decided to integrate ACRIS data. Regardless, amazing app. Thank you.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the nice review! I'm not sure if you're still interested in ACRIS, but the latest version has an option to subscribe for ACRIS data. Just FYI!

### 5/5 — Gets every bit of info on any NYC building. Amazing

*2019-08-08*

I used this app to find out everything I could want to know, and some things I didn’t, about the building I live in.  I can’t understand why the City wouldn’t make this but I’m happy the developer did.  Very useful information, like complaints, violations, school and elections zones.  Wish I’d had this app before I moved. Thanks to the developer!
