NYC Building Check is an independent, informational tool that consolidates publicly available records about New York City buildings — including HPD violations, DOB permits and violations, and 311 complaints — published on NYC Open Data.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the City of New York or any of its agencies. The service is provided for general information only and does not constitute legal, professional, or investment advice. Always verify important information with the official source before acting on it.

You agree to use the site lawfully and in good faith. In particular, you agree not to:
