- 78vs. 260.0 per 100 units
Public records below are counted from December 1998, when this owner acquired the earliest property we have a recorded transfer for.
For 5 of 8 properties we have no recorded transfer on file, so records there may predate this owner.
We don't yet have complaints and eviction filings for this area, so they are not counted here or in the score. A blank is not a clean record — it means we have nothing to show.

Buying and selling
No recorded purchases in the last three years. We have a purchase date for 4 properties.
Recorded purchases run from December 1998 to April 1999.
We have no recorded transfer for 5 of their 9 properties, so this is a partial picture.
From recorded property transfers. Buying or selling often is not itself a problem, and none of this affects the Public Record Score.
Company links are inferences from shared addresses, agents and name similarity — never a finding. Each one shows the evidence that produced it.
Tenant reviews (0)
Ordered by what other tenants found helpful (§3.6). Voting changes the order only — never a score.

“On record” means the authority published this citation but no abatement date, so we cannot tell you whether it was fixed — and we do not describe these as open. Sources differ on this: where one publishes a closure date, the row above shows it. How this works.
