For owners and managers
We mirror NYC.gov. Fix the source — fix the report.
RentGuard surfaces public NYC records about your buildings. Every count cites a primary source. If an indicator looks wrong, the correction belongs at the source — and once it lands there, it lands here too.
What we publish
Counts of HPD violations, by class.Open and closed counts directly from the HPD Housing Maintenance Code Violations dataset, with links to the originals on HPD Online.
DOB, 311, and eviction filings on file.Aggregated from the public DOB Complaints, 311 Service Requests, and Marshal Evictions datasets. Each indicator links back to NYC.gov.
Registered owner and managing agent.The names you filed with HPD on the most recent Multiple Dwelling Registration. We surface these because the building is required by law to identify them.
Watchlist rank if matched.When the registered-owner name matches an entry on the NYC Public Advocate’s Worst Landlord Watchlist, we display the rank with a link to the source.

Close out HPD violations through HPD Online.Once a violation is dismissed or closed at the source, it stops counting against the building on RentGuard.HPD Online →
Email us with the BBL and the source link.If you believe a specific count is wrong relative to the NYC.gov source we cite, send us the BBL, the indicator, and the link to the underlying record. We mirror the source — we don’t adjudicate it.Email corrections@rentguard.cc
What this isn’t
We never use first-party labels like “slumlord”, “scam”, or “avoid”. The AI summary is constrained to cite raw counts and link to source.
We never characterize the owner’s or manager’s intent or motivation.
We never publish information that is not already public on NYC.gov.
RentGuard is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Building reports are generated from public NYC datasets. Records may be incomplete or out of date — that is exactly why we link back to every source.
