Why Look Up a Building?

Before you buy a condo or co-op in NYC, you should know:

  • Is there pending litigation? Lawsuits can trigger special assessments that cost thousands per unit.
  • What's the violation history? Class C violations mean conditions immediately hazardous to life and health.
  • Who manages the building? Some managing agents have patterns of violations across their entire portfolio.
  • What's the Local Law 11 status? Facade repairs can cost $5,000-$50,000+ per unit in special assessments.
  • Are there 311 complaints? Patterns of noise, heat, or water complaints reveal what residents actually experience.

Your real estate broker won't tell you this. The offering plan won't show it. We will.
