Augrented landlord ratings and reviews are now live in #losangeles! We've added data on over 100,000 rental buildings in LA - including code enforcement cases, 311 calls and permits. https://t.co/LNVaiffeT2
A5b: We’d love to motivate investment in safe housing by providing high-quality neighborhood or parcel-level data to every community (& resident) in the U.S. We can leverage technology (& an understanding of how real people use it) to help achieve this vision. #NHHMchat#NHHM2022
Years ago, I pledged to get to the bottom of one of the most chilling mysteries about Los Angeles: Why do renters have to buy their own refrigerators for their apartments? (1/10)

Where we are is some sad hassles for tenants. One guy moved from the Bay Area to LA five years ago. He thought he was ahead of the game by arranging to buy a fridge in advance. He ended up with the loneliest fridge ever in a UHaul on a dark street while begging for help. (9/10)
@OTenant@AppleSupport Check your charging port for lint! You can (at your own risk) usually get it out with a folded piece of sticky tape and a pin - just hook any lint on the pin, careful you don't scrape around inside the port.
@pugmajere@lizthegrey It is, but we specifically filter out single family homes and condos (which means missing ratings for single family rentals at present). If the building class is wrong in the records we get from DOB, for whatever reason, that won't exclude them.
@lizthegrey Not going to post links for obvious reasons, but there are City-run sites where *all* the HPD registration data is available. We wish @NYCHousing would implement a way for people to mask this data at source!
At The Opera House Lofts, The landlords are negligent and the Department of Buildings is not holding them accountable. Brooklyn needs safe homes! Tell BK Borough Commissioner Vilenchik @buildings_nyc to enforce building code now! https://t.co/fobTvJfeAy via @OH_Tenant_Union
Hard to imagine, in the same week of the deadliest, most devastating fire NYC has seen in decades—that was clearly the result of a negligent landlord and lack of landlord accountability—state leadership might still collectively fail to extend and expand urgent tenant protections.
