What Best Maintained Means

Our maintenance score looks at how quickly and thoroughly landlords respond to issues recorded in Boston's RentSmart database. Buildings with high maintenance scores have landlords who:

  • Address violations quickly after they're reported
  • Have fewer repeat violations for the same issues
  • Maintain building systems proactively
  • Have higher violation closure rates

In Boston's older housing stock—including the iconic triple-deckers and Victorian brownstones— proactive maintenance is crucial. These buildings require regular attention to plumbing, electrical, and heating systems to remain safe and comfortable.
