§ 02 — Coverage

What we check, before you sign.

Every Weverit report compiles fifteen distinct signals from the city's public databases. Nothing is invented; nothing is interpreted away.

01

Open building violations

Live count of active code violations. Hazardous and immediately hazardous conditions flagged separately.

02

Tenant complaints

Formal complaint records — heat, water, mold, pests, plumbing — with dates and dispositions.

03

Construction & permits

What's been built, what's pending, what failed inspection. Scaffolds, occupancy certificates, remediation status.

04

Lead paint risk

Buildings built before 1960 with units that may have child occupants under age 6.

05

Pest history

Mandatory annual pest disclosures filings — what landlords are legally required to report.

06

Crime statistics

Precinct-level violent and property crime, major-felony breakdown, year-over-year trend.

07

311 quality of life

Noise, sanitation, illegal parking complaints — what the block actually feels like at 2am.

08

School zoning

Zoned elementary/middle schools, current ratings, distance, eligibility for choice programs.

09

Rent stabilization

Whether the building has stabilized units worth verifying — your unit may be one of them.

10

Price benchmark

Listing rent versus zip-code median. Flags overpricing in plain dollars.

11

Affordability check

The 40× rule: required income for the listed rent, with NYC bring-home math.

12

Street parking outlook

Permit-free spots, alternate-side schedule, garage proximity, ticket density.

13

Owner & landlord history

Building ownership records, cross-referenced against problem-landlord watchlists.

14

Broker fee compliance

Whether broker fees are legally chargeable to the tenant under current NYC law.

15

Plain-English verdict

A two-paragraph summary, written in clear language, of what the data actually means for you.

Composite verdict

A solid pre-war walk-up with manageable issues. Two open Class B violations require landlord-paid repair before move-in. Crime metrics below borough median. Rent is 4% above zip median — negotiable.

Verdict — what to do The two open violations (peeling paint in bathroom, defective window guard, both filed 2025-11) are the landlord's responsibility to clear. Demand written confirmation of repair before signing. The 8 of 24 stabilized units suggest the unit may itself be stabilized — request the rent history from the relevant state agency. Listing rent of $2,940 is 4% above zip-code median; comparable two-bedrooms on this block average $2,820. There is room to negotiate.

§ 04 — Method

How a report is made.

  1. Step 01

    You submit an address.

    Type it manually, paste a StreetEasy link, or upload a screenshot. We extract the address — never your personal data.

  2. Step 02

    We query 18 official sources.

    In parallel, we query 18+ official New York City and New York State government databases — fifteen modules running concurrently, sub-ten-second total.

  3. Step 03

    A plain-English report is produced.

    Scores, structured findings, and a two-paragraph verdict. No hype, no marketing voice. Shareable PDF link, valid 30 days.

§ 05 — Provenance

Built on official public records.

Weverit compiles and analyzes data from 18+ official New York City and New York State government databases — the same public records city agencies, journalists, and tenant attorneys rely on. We do not scrape brokerage sites. We do not invent comparables. Every figure in a report is independently citable from a primary government source.

01

City & state agencies

Housing, building safety, code enforcement, consumer protection, education, public safety — every record the city maintains about a building is fair game for the report.

02

Federal datasets

Flood maps, transit accessibility, demographic baselines — the federal layer that contextualizes a single address against its neighborhood and region.

03

Sources cited within each report

Every paid Weverit report lists the exact source dataset under each section, so any figure can be independently verified. We stand behind our numbers because they are not ours — they are the city's.

§ 06 — Terms

Pricing, in plain numbers.

No subscriptions you forget. No bundle gimmicks. Pay for the report you need, when you need it.

§ 07 — Questions

Frequently asked.

Is Weverit affiliated with any broker, landlord, or property platform?

No. We make money exclusively from tenants. We have no broker partnerships, no landlord referral fees, and no advertising. The product exists to serve the renter — that is the entire business model.

Is the data accurate?

The data is exactly as accurate as the city's public records. Most government datasets update daily; some lag by 24–48 hours. Every figure in a paid report links back to its source dataset, so you can verify any number yourself.

Is this legal advice?

No. Weverit is a public-records research tool, not a law firm. The reports describe what the city's databases say. For interpretation of your specific lease, contact a tenant-rights attorney — we can refer you.

What about my privacy when I run a search?

We log only the address you searched and a hashed session ID — no name, no email, no IP retention beyond 24 hours. Your searches are not sold or shared. The full Privacy Policy is plain-language and short.

Why is the free preview limited?

Generating a full report involves real costs — the AI summary alone runs about $0.01 per query, and at scale that adds up. Our pricing is built so the more you buy, the cheaper each report is — from $5 for a one-off down to $0.75 each in a 100-pack. We keep it accessible because most renters check 5–10 buildings before signing.

Can I share a report with my partner, parents, or attorney?

Yes. Every paid report includes a 30-day shareable link — anyone with the URL can view it. PDF download is also included. We do not require accounts to read shared reports.

Do you cover buildings outside New York City?

Not yet. The product is built specifically around New York City's public-records ecosystem, which is unusually rich and regulator-supported. Expansion to other cities is on the roadmap, but the data infrastructure has to be rebuilt for each jurisdiction.
