NEW YORK, NY, July 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) Finding a good apartment in New York City is already incredibly difficult, but did you know that the Fair Housing Act prohibits brokers from releasing neighborhood information, such as crime rates and schooling districts? In a survey of homeowners and renters, 75% of respondents reported finding hidden problems about their building or neighborhood within three months of moving in. (I)
ProperData, http://www.properdata.com, is responding to this issue with the introduction of its new building reports. By crawling multiple information databases, this first-of-its-kind service combines and organizes municipal and corporate data into a single report on the quality of the building and neighborhood. Information available on the website ranges includes crime data, noise information, demographics and more.
ProperData's was built by Tom Yeung, a web developer and database engineer who was tired of overly-eager brokers. Taking inspiration from successful sites in other areas, such as Carfax in automobiles and BeenVerified in employment, ProperData was built to educate its users on hidden issues. The reports are designed to give an instant, clear summary of each building, and we invite all to explore the free search tools that are also available on the site.
