Plotting the DHCR building file…
MetroNest + Harlington · Checked Sep 7, 2026. Sources refresh every 6 hours when viewed; coverage is partial.
All five boroughs · — lotteries · — production projects
Lottery history is shown by default. Published advertisements can lag the live portal. Missing completion dates indicate possible pipeline records; opening dates are not provided. DOB covers initial new-building filings since 2021. ZAP covers active / on-hold projects and approvals since 2024; its points are tax-lot context. These controls affect housing layers; the filters below affect stabilized buildings.
Joined by Lottery ID / Project ID. Building matches use BIN or exact normalized address + borough + ZIP. Daily refreshes persist records and check saved research; violation queries are cached for 1 hour. Source families retain their previous snapshot on failure.
Save the current map filters, or watch a selected building for maintenance changes.
Housing searches track new matches, published changes and records leaving your filters. Building searches bookmark the 2024 DHCR directory filters; building watches check maintenance records. Alerts stay in this app.
Loading verified contact research…
Open a property dot, then Contacts to compose an inquiry, call, or visit the website. General leasing, advertisement and office contacts are labeled separately.
Every lottery in the bundled Housing Connect export was included in the public-advertisement scan. Linked websites were checked for published contacts. Advertisements without a separate website keep their official Housing Connect link; no website or email address is guessed. HPD-only buildings receive contacts when an exact researched address matches. Agency data refreshes daily; website contact research keeps its own displayed check date.
