How We Identify Safe Buildings

StreetSmart analyzes millions of housing records to identify the safest apartment buildings in NYC. Our safety criteria includes:

  • Overall Score 90+: Buildings must rank in the top 10% based on our comprehensive scoring algorithm
  • Zero Class C Violations: No immediately hazardous conditions like lack of heat, lead paint, or fire safety issues
  • Consistent Maintenance: Buildings with landlords who address issues promptly

Understanding Violation Classes

NYC HPD classifies violations into three categories:

  • Class A: Non-hazardous (cosmetic issues, minor repairs)
  • Class B: Hazardous (must be fixed within 30 days)
  • Class C: Immediately hazardous (must be fixed within 24 hours)

Buildings on this list have zero Class C violations, meaning no immediately dangerous conditions have been reported.
