Read property activity and open-record backlog

Interpret literal Class B, Class C, and open-record counts without turning public records into a property grade.

Question answered

What do recent HPD findings and an open-record backlog actually say?

Literal activity cards stay separate by source and are never combined into one predictive property grade.

How PropSignal reads it

  1. Count only records inside the stated source, status, class, and date rules.
  2. Keep complaints, violations, and other enforcement families separate.
  3. Show current counts, oldest-open age, and bounded time-window activity only when the source scope is complete enough.
  4. Suppress dependent results when the source is stale, partial, unavailable, or blocked.

What this can establish

  • How many admitted source records meet the displayed literal rule in the checked scope.
  • The date basis and source state used for each count or trend.

What this does not establish

  • Building safety, physical condition, compliance, severity, or remediation cost.
  • Whether a complaint is verified, whether an open record remains legally enforceable, or whether no other issue exists.

Dates and missing evidence

Date meaning
Activity windows use source-reported event dates; backlog age uses the admitted open-state and valid issue date as of the checked evidence release.
When evidence is missing
A zero is shown only when the source was successfully checked and the rule was evaluated. Otherwise PropSignal reports not established or the source gap.
