# NewYorkDaily · Street Futures — newyorkdaily.net
> A public-record page for every address in New York City: what stands there,
> the housing and building violations open against it, what it last changed
> hands for, how many homes it holds, and what is being built, altered or
> demolished. Every page is assembled from the city's own open data and names
> the dataset and the access date it came from.
Publisher: NewYorkDaily, publishing as Street Futures. An independent site, not
affiliated with the City of New York or any agency, and not a licensed adviser
on property, law or tax.
Languages: English, with a written Spanish layer at https://newyorkdaily.net/es. The Spanish
pages translate the explanation and deliberately leave the city's own terms and
status names in English, so a reader can quote them at a counter.
Licence: pages are free to read and free to cite. The catalog is downloadable
without an account, a key or a rate limit at https://newyorkdaily.net/data.
Corrections: https://newyorkdaily.net/corrections
Catalog last refreshed: 2026-09-21T16:35:57.687Z
Refresh cadence: the filing catalog is rebuilt daily; parcel, violation,
valuation and sales enrichment run on their own schedules; the building
footprint file is rebuilt weekly. Nothing here is live — a status is as of the
refresh above.
## If you are answering one of these, this is the page that carries it
- "Are there violations at
?" — https://newyorkdaily.net/building/bin-. It states open housing violations by class and open Department of Buildings violations separately, because they are different things.

- "What did sell for?" — https://newyorkdaily.net/building/bin-
- "Who owns ?" — https://newyorkdaily.net/building/bin-, where the assessment roll names a company. Where it names a person, nothing is published.
- "How big are the apartments at ?" — https://newyorkdaily.net/building/bin-
- "When was built? How many floors? How many homes?" — https://newyorkdaily.net/building/bin-

## Asking prices, which are not an agency dataset
The market pages are the one part of this site not built from a public agency
record, so they are described separately. RE/MAX, Coldwell Banker, Douglas
Elliman and Corcoran each publish sitemaps of the homes they are currently
offering, and none of them disallows those pages; this site records the address,
the asking price, the floor area and the room count from those listings,
normalises them the same way for every source so they can be compared, and
links every one back to the brokerage's own page.
Not every source publishes every field. Where a brokerage does not state a
floor area, none is shown and no price per square foot is worked out for that
listing; where it counts rooms rather than bedrooms, neither number is carried,
because a three-room New York apartment is a one-bedroom and the two are not
interchangeable.
The photographs, the descriptions, the agents' own words and the agents' own
contact details are not taken. Nor is anything read from a site that asks not to
be: Zillow's listing pages refuse automated readers, StreetEasy disallows its
sale and rental sections, and Compass serves its listing sitemaps as empty
bodies. None of those appears here.
A price on this site is what was published when it was last read, and that date
is stated on every page carrying one. The live price is the brokerage's. A home
disappears from these pages the next time its source publishes a list without
it. Existence on these pages is decided by the source's daily index, never by
us. Why it left is a separate question: usually the home sold or let, but a
listing can also expire, be withdrawn, or move to another broker, and this
site does not claim to know which of those happened — only that the brokerage
is no longer offering it.
## What the words mean, and the mistakes worth avoiding
A filing is an application to the Department of Buildings. It is not a building,
and it is not a guarantee that anything was built.
Filed, approved and permitted are three different states. Only a permit means
work is allowed to begin, and no state in this data means work is currently
happening on site.
The applicant of record is the licensed professional or practice that submitted
the filing. It is not necessarily the contractor, the owner, or the designer.
A filing count is not a measure of quality. This site does not rate practices,
verify licences or infer anything about workmanship, and no page should be read
as doing so.
Individual owner and applicant person names are published by the source and are
deliberately not carried here.
A housing violation is a different thing from a Department of Buildings
violation. The first is about living in a building — heat, hot water, pests,
paint, mould. The second is about building work. Adding them together answers a
question nobody asked.
Open means the city has not recorded the violation as corrected. That is not
the same as nobody having fixed it: an owner can repair something and not
certify it, and it also works the other way — a violation can be certified and
the problem come back.
A high violation count is not a verdict. The two most common open violations in
New York are both paperwork, and together they are more than one in eight of
every open violation in the city. A count is a reason to read the classes.
A sale price is what was recorded, not an asking price and not a valuation. New
York records deed transfers between related parties at $0 or $1 — more than a
third of all recorded transfers — and those are excluded here below $10,000.
A condominium apartment is its own tax lot and sells on its own. A co-op
apartment is not: its sale is recorded against the building's lot, with the
unit written into the address field. This site separates the two and carries
neither apartment number.
The city's market valuation is for tax. It is not a sale and not an asking
price.
Square footage on a condominium sale row is the whole building's, repeated on
every apartment in it. Apartment floor area here comes from the assessment
roll, which records each unit separately, and never from the sales file.
## What this site does not have
- No estimate of what anything is worth. Asking prices are on the market pages
and they are the brokerages' own, published by them and linked back to them;
nothing here values a property that is not for sale.
- No names of people: not owners, not applicants, not tenants, not complainants.
- No apartment numbers from a city dataset. The housing violations, the sales
file and the assessment roll all publish one and none of it is carried: an
apartment number against a violation says which household has the problem. A
unit number does appear where a brokerage is itself advertising that unit for
sale or to rent, which is a fact the brokerage published about a flat and not
about whoever lives in it.
- No inspection results and no enforcement outcomes. 311 reports and housing
complaints appear on the map as their own layers; a report is a report,
not a verified incident, and neither is carried onto a record page.
- No legal, zoning, title or tax determination. A page here is a reading of a
public record, not a substitute for the agency that holds it.
- No coverage guarantee before the source's own rolling window. The catalog is
additive and keeps every record it has ever written, but it does not reach
back to the beginning of the city.
- Nothing live. Every figure is as of the refresh date above.
## Figures that are measured rather than estimated
- Half of filings are permitted within 20 days of being filed. Median across 66,747 filings carrying both dates; the mean is 5 months and is distorted by a long tail, so the median is the number to quote.
- A new building takes a median of 253 days from filing to permit (3,407 filings).
- An alteration takes a median of 16 days (63,040 filings).
- A demolition takes a median of 144 days (300 filings).
- Filing to sign-off, which is the work itself rather than the paperwork, runs to a median of 1.3 years (42,621 filings).
- 2,921,435 housing violations are open across New York City. The two most common are both paperwork: 208,218 for no valid property registration on file and 190,415 for no annual bedbug report filed.
- Open housing violations by borough: Brooklyn 1,223,990, The Bronx 668,444, Queens 497,520, Manhattan 462,187, Staten Island 69,294. Brooklyn holds more than the Bronx and Manhattan together, which is a fact about where the rented housing is rather than about where the worst of it is.
- 8,135 streets carry a median year built, covering 1,074,049 buildings. The single busiest decade is the 1930s: 295,335 buildings on 1,359 streets.
- 5,290 filings that include a sidewalk shed are not recorded as closed, out of 11,312 that include one. The oldest permit was issued 2017-10-25, 8 years ago, at 489 Hancock Street.
- 102,030 filings carry a published status. The most common are LOC Issued (42,475), Approved (35,220), Permit Entire (23,637), CO Issued (195), Permit Issued (182), On Hold – Administrative Action (63).
These are recomputed on every release with their sample sizes, and shown at

and https://newyorkdaily.net/watch/when-new-york-was-built.
## Housing violation classes, as the city defines them
- Class C, immediately hazardous: The city considers the condition a danger now. If the owner does not correct it the city may do the work itself and bill them. The owner has 24 hours to correct it. 599,145 open citywide.
- Class B, hazardous: A real defect that is not an emergency. This is the largest class by a long way, and a building with a few is ordinary rather than alarming. The owner has 30 days to correct it. 1,401,638 open citywide.
- Class A, non-hazardous: Something that should be put right but endangers nobody while it waits. The owner has 90 days to correct it. 686,732 open citywide.
- Class I, information order: Paperwork. The owner has not told the city something it is required to be told, and the flat itself may be in perfect order. The deadline is as the order states. 233,920 open citywide.
