The whole building, in one report.
Objective, public, citable — no scores or grades of ours.
Rating over time + the change-point
Not one average — the full timeline, with the month the rating actually moved, marked on the line.
Which complaints are rising
Management, fees, maintenance, noise, pests — tracked year over year, so you see what's growing and what faded.
Consistency & biggest dip
How steady the rating has been, and any large drop worth knowing about — even when a building now reads steady.
Crime, per-capita (FBI)
Official offenses for the city per 1,000 residents, against the state and U.S. averages.
Commute, rush vs off-peak
Type where you work and see real drive times from each building, rush hour and midday, on a map.
Livability & local rank
Walkability, air quality, the internet you can get — and where the building ranks among nearby ones.
How it works
We pull the public reviews
Every Google review for the building, back as far as they go.
We chart the real story
Rating over time, the change-point, rising complaints — then crime, commute, and livability from public data.
