The public record, citable, with the source on every line.

Every figure names the dataset it came from and the date it was read, the caveats sit beside the numbers they qualify, and the PDF states what it is and is not — not a consumer report, not a valuation, not the statutory disclosure. A record you can quote, from a service that is careful about what it refuses to say.

The questions it answers

What exactly does each source say?
How current is each figure?
Can I cite this in a filing?
What is deliberately excluded, and why?
Where does the city publish this?
Is this a consumer report?

The sections that earn their keep

What was reported and approved on the blockPolice incident reports, 311 service requests and development approvals issued within the radius, by year and category, each against what an average San Diego area of the same size records. The city publishes these as files, so each count says the day its copy was taken.

Complaints and violationsAllegations and findings, counted separately and dated — with abatement status.

The building on the county rollSan Diego County's assessed land and improvement value, the unit count and lot acreage, and the date of the last recorded document that anchored the value. Under Proposition 13 that date is what the number is anchored to.

Every caveatThe report's refusals are documented, which is what makes the rest of it quotable.

Nothing here needs a compliance read. The report contains no scores, grades or rankings — no safety rating, no school grade, no neighborhood letter. Those are the classic proxies for what the Fair Housing Act protects, and this product refuses them by design: you get counts, comparisons and sources. It names no person, and it is not a consumer report.
