Frequently asked about Manhattan landlord data
How many landlords does MetroDeeds track in Manhattan?
MetroDeeds is currently rebuilding the Manhattan operator cohort. The borough has a smaller multi-family rental footprint than the other four boroughs, so the named-operator count is naturally lower. Recompute runs nightly — check back after the next refresh.
Who is the worst landlord in Manhattan?
Manhattan does not currently have an operator at the top of the citywide violation leaderboard. The borough’s residential stock is dominated by 1–2 family homes (in Staten Island in particular), so multi-building distress patterns surface less frequently than in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or the Bronx. Check the citywide Landlord Ripoff Watch leaderboard for the full ranking.
How many HPD violations are open in Manhattan?
Open HPD violations across Manhattan's tracked operator cohort are currently zero in the cache snapshot. This is unusual and most likely indicates a transient compute or refresh issue rather than a clean borough — HPD reports thousands of open violations citywide every day. If this persists, the methodology page documents the underlying data sources.
How often is Manhattan data updated?
MetroDeeds runs a full nightly compute job at 4 AM ET that refreshes every operator’s violation count, property count, distress score, last acquisition date, and flag set. The borough hub page reads from that cache and re-renders every six hours via Next.js incremental static regeneration. Changes to underlying NYC Open Data (HPD violations, ACRIS deeds, OCA evictions, 311 complaints) flow through within 1–2 nightly runs of source-data publication.
Can I download Manhattan landlord data?
Free MetroDeeds accounts get 3 full due-diligence reports — no credit card required — and can browse the full Manhattan operator list at any time. Scout+ ($49.99/mo) unlocks unfiltered deed history, $/SF context, and full owner-of-record names. Pro ($149.99/mo) adds bulk CSV export of operator and deed data plus PDF portfolio reports. Enterprise ($499.99/mo) adds programmatic API access for automated workflows.
What's the difference between Manhattan HPD violations and DOB violations?
HPD (Department of Housing Preservation and Development) issues violations for tenant-facing housing-quality issues — heat, hot water, mold, leaks, pests, locks, peeling paint, broken windows. DOB (Department of Buildings) issues violations for construction-code and safety issues — illegal alterations, unsafe scaffolding, unregistered work, expired permits. MetroDeeds’ distress score weighs HPD violations because they reflect tenant-experienced conditions; DOB violations are tracked separately on each operator’s profile page under the Construction & Permits section.
