Before you sign a lease, read the building.
Free, one building at a time: whether the landlord registered the property as a rental the way the city requires, whether a lead-safe certificate is current on it, and whether anything on the parcel stands condemned. All of it from the city's own records — nothing about any person, nothing scored.
Not Building & Housing, not legal advice, and never a consumer report — this describes a building, not a person, and no landlord can use it to look anyone up.
