The app helps renters research apartment buildings and landlords before signing a lease. It provides access to anonymous reviews from real renters, building scores based on maintenance, cleanliness, and landlord responsiveness, and city data like building violations and eviction filings.
Key features include researching buildings and landlords, reading anonymous renter reviews, viewing building scores and city data, scheduling apartment tours with an AI bot, and filtering listings by neighborhood and amenities. Users can also research a landlord's entire building portfolio and aggregated ratings.
The app offers free access to basic research features, including browsing listings, reading reviews, and viewing building scores. However, users can pay for 'Deep Building Reports' which unlock more advanced insights like construction permits, median rent trends, and deeper building analytics.
The app combines crowdsourced tenant reviews with public city data. This includes information on building violations, bedbug complaints, eviction filings, litigation history, construction permits, and property tax status to provide a comprehensive picture of buildings and landlords.
This app is designed for renters, particularly those in New York City, who want to make informed decisions about where to live. It's for individuals who want to avoid problematic buildings or landlords and find a trusted home with confidence.
