Building intelligence,
redefined.
OpenStoop is the definitive platform for understanding the health, safety, and condition of every building in New York City.
Our Mission
We believe building condition data should be clear, comprehensive, and instantly accessible. OpenStoop transforms fragmented, complex records into a single authoritative score that anyone can understand.
Our team combines deep NYC real estate expertise with advanced data science to deliver building intelligence at a scale and depth that didn't exist before.
Whether you're evaluating an apartment, underwriting a property, or investigating housing conditions — OpenStoop gives you the full picture in seconds.
Why OpenStoop Exists
- →Building data is scattered across dozens of siloed systems
- →Raw records use opaque codes and technical jargon
- →No existing tool offers cross-source comparison or scoring
- →Critical safety signals get buried in bureaucratic noise
Platform Coverage
Our Approach
Our proprietary scoring methodology synthesizes 22 data dimensions into a single, interpretable building health grade.
Our algorithm weighs severity, recency, and resolution status across every data dimension — not just raw counts. The result is a nuanced, context-aware assessment.
Buildings are compared against similar properties by size, age, and type — ensuring fair, meaningful grades that reflect actual performance relative to peers.
Scores are recalculated as new data arrives — providing a living, real-time view of building health rather than a static snapshot.
Every scored building includes a detailed event timeline — violations, permits, complaints, sales, and inspections — in a single chronological view.
How We're Different
Every score is backed by comprehensive, verifiable records — not crowdsourced reviews or anecdotal reports. Our analysis is rigorous and reproducible.
No hunting through dozens of databases. Get a single, easy-to-understand health grade backed by a detailed component breakdown.
Our pipeline ingests new data daily, so you're always seeing the most current building conditions — not stale snapshots.
