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.
