Every time I searched for apartments in I'd open 6 tabs. Crime stats, 311 complaints on Open Data DC, Utility rates, Walk Score, Google Maps for the commute. Then I'd try to remember which address had what.
So I started pulling these APIs together into one report. RentSift queries 20+ government data sources in real time for any DC, Maryland, or Virginia address because data is available there. The kind of thing you want to know before signing a 12-month lease.
I posted on r/ 5 days ago asking what renters actually care about. 30+ comments came in. Building age, transit proximity, rent control status, bike lanes, grocery store quality, even airplane noise. The grocery scoring feedback was especially humbling.
What I'd love feedback on: what data would actually change your decision about where to rent? I'm prioritizing based on what people tell me matters, not what I assume matters.
