6 buildingsWhat Makes a Boston Building Safe?
Our safety score combines multiple factors from Boston's RentSmart database, ISD inspections, and 311 complaints. Buildings scoring 90+ have demonstrated consistently low violation rates and responsive landlords who address issues quickly.
Safety considerations in Boston include fire safety (especially in older triple-deckers), structural integrity, electrical systems, and building security. Many of Boston's safest buildings are in established neighborhoods with active management and regular maintenance.
