FAQ
LucidIQ combines verified tenant reviews (60% weight) with public data — violation counts, complaints, DOB filings, and zip-level crime — into a letter grade (A–F) and a 0-to-5 numeric score. A building with no open violations and strong reviews scores around 4.5.
Yes. Every building report, LucidIQ score, and tenant review is free — forever. We never sell tenant data and never run paid listings.
Official city agencies (HPD, DOB, 311 for NYC; LAHD and REAP for LA; Chicago's Building Services and RLTO tracking; Miami-Dade Code Enforcement; Harris County Code for Houston) plus tenant-submitted reviews.
New York State law limits how much a landlord can raise rent on covered units. Roughly half of NYC apartments are rent-stabilized. We flag every stabilized building based on HCR registrations.
A rental listed without a broker fee — the landlord (not the tenant) pays the broker. We surface buildings that most often advertise no-fee units.
