Last updated: January 2025
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using Building Health X ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our platform.
Building Health X is a building research and renter services platform operated at www.buildinghealthx.com. These terms apply to all visitors and users of the Platform.
2. Nature of the Service
Building Health X aggregates publicly available data from NYC government sources including the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), the Department of Buildings (DOB), 311, the NYC Automated City Register Information System (ACRIS), the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), and others.
Important limitations:
- The data displayed is sourced from third-party government databases. We do not guarantee its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.
- Building Health X is an informational tool only. It is not a substitute for professional legal, real estate, or inspection advice.
- Data may be delayed, incomplete, or subject to change. Always verify critical information directly with the relevant NYC agency before making decisions.
3. Services Marketplace
Building Health X connects renters with third-party local service providers including but not limited to moving companies, pest control operators, cleaners, and tradespeople.
- We are a referral platform, not a service provider. We do not employ, endorse, or guarantee the work of any service provider listed or matched through the Platform.
- Any contract, payment, or dispute is directly between you and the service provider. We accept no liability for the quality, safety, or outcome of any service arranged via the Platform.
- Service providers are independent businesses. Always verify their licences, insurance, and credentials independently before engaging them.
