BrickReports - NYC Building Safety

Instant building safety scores on StreetEasy listings. HPD violations, 311 complaints, owner reputation.

🏗️ BrickReports is the only Chrome extension that grades NYC buildings directly inside StreetEasy — so you see a building's HPD violations, safety score, and a clear verdict (Go See It / Proceed with Caution / Skip It) without ever leaving the listing page. --- WHY IT MATTERS NYC landlords check your credit, your income, and your background before they hand over the keys. Most renters sign a lease knowing almost nothing about the building they're moving into. There are tens of thousands of open HPD violations across active StreetEasy listings right now — heat failures, pest infestations, water damage, lead paint, hazardous conditions. The buildings with the worst records often have the nicest photos. Other tools make you leave StreetEasy, copy the address, and look up the data on a separate site. BrickReports does it automatically, on the page you're already on. --- WHAT YOU SEE ON EVERY LISTING ✅ Safety Grade — A through F based on HPD violations, 311 complaints, and building history ✅ Verdict — Go See It / Proceed with Caution / Skip It (not just a number — a recommendation) ✅ HPD Violation Count — Total, open vs closed, Class A/B/C severity ✅ 311 Complaint History — Heat, pests, noise, water, harassment trends ✅ Owner Reputation — Flagged landlords, portfolio-level track records ✅ Verified Rent Stabilization — Co-op vs rental detection (we get this right) ✅ One-Click Full Report — Deep-dive analysis at brickreports.com No copy-pasting addresses. No new tabs. No leaving StreetEasy. --- HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT • Inside StreetEasy, not on a separate site — see grades while you browse • A verdict, not just a number — "Skip It" is more useful than "34/100" • Verified rent stabilization status — co-ops correctly identified, not lumped in with stabilized rentals • 7 NYC public data sources, refreshed daily • Built by NYC renters, not a real estate company --- HOW IT WORKS 1.
