Latest NYC App Lets Users Search Data on City's Buildings

摘要

New York City's Dept. of Buildings has become a hub for apps that help users access building information with their smart devices. The latest release from the DOB's Digital Hub division is a free app that lets users look up information on nearly 1 million properties throughout the city's five boroughs. Available for Apple and Android devices, the app features a basic menu of search functions. After a user types in a building's address and borough, the app pulls up information such as the lot number, building type and ownership, as well as a building's history of construction projects. It also pulls up any violations and complaints about the building.
