NYC Multifamily Distress Intelligence: A Weekly Scored Ranking of Every Building in Trouble

I built a system that cross-references 22+ NYC public data sources (HPD, DOB, ACRIS, ECB, DOF, 311, and more) and scores every multifamily building in the city by distress level using machine learning trained on 5 years of actual sales data.

What the data shows right now:

• 172,844 NYC multifamily buildings scored weekly
• 87 buildings in "Prime" tier (highest probability of below-market sale)
• 2,593 in "Strong" tier (significant owner pressure, likely motivated seller)
• Tax lien history is the #1 predictor of distressed sales, 49% more predictive than violations alone
• 95% of buildings resolved to the individual owner behind the LLC

What you get with the Signal Report:

• Ranked list of the most distressed multifamily buildings in NYC, updated every Monday
• Owner identity (the actual person, not just the LLC), business address, phone, email
• What's driving each building's score (tax liens, violations, enforcement flags, financial stress)
• Week-over-week movers: who got worse, who improved, who crossed into Prime
• Portfolio clusters: owners with multiple distressed buildings (systemic failure = motivated seller)
• CSV export for your own workflow

Who this is for:

• Investment sales brokers sourcing off-market multifamily listings
• Investors looking for distressed acquisition targets in the $2-15M range
• Distressed debt buyers monitoring NYC loan exposure
• Anyone who's tired of manually checking HPD Online and ACRIS for 50 buildings a week

The math: You spend 10-15 hours/week checking city websites for the same buildings. We check all 172,844 and tell you which ones matter most. One off-market deal sourced early saves 5% on a $5M purchase. That's $250,000.
