What is Brick Report for?

Brick Report is for buyers and renters as well as real estate agents and brokers who want to find out as much as possible about an address to minimize surprises before making an offer or signing a lease.

What sort of information does Brick Report reveal?

The report pulls a comprehensive snapshot of residential building information, including whether the building has been issued violations for pests, plumbing or heating problems. You’ll also be able to confirm when the building was constructed and access information about recent construction permit requests as well as energy ratings and usage. Knowing a building’s energy rating can indicate whether a co-op board has a handle on building maintenance or if you will face hefty assessments for upgrades in the future.

The report also provides neighborhood information, such as demographics, crime reports, overviews of restaurants and grocery stores, nearby schools and government institutions.

Where does the data come from?

Brick Report draws data from New York City’s Open Data portal and combines data sets from Housing and Preservation & Development, Department of Buildings, Department of Finance, 311, New York City Police Department, as well as Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Census Bureau, and Open Street Maps.
