User Reviews

Users like the NYC Buildings app for being easy to use and for putting property details and project status in one place, with a straightforward search and a neat, visually appealing interface. However, multiple reviewers fault it for being outdated and poorly maintained, with compatibility problems on newer iOS versions. Additional recurring drawbacks include broken navigation (inability to go back) and stability issues (crashes, lag, or unresponsive menus). Overall, the app is convenient but unreliable; updates and UX fixes are needed to meet modern devices and expectations.
Pros
  • Easy to use / user-friendly interface.
  • All-in-one convenience: access to property details and project status in one app, reducing the need for a browser or office visits.
  • Easy to search property details.
Cons
  • Outdated, poorly maintained app with compatibility issues on newer iOS versions.
  • Broken navigation/back functionality and other UI glitches.
  • Stability problems like crashes and slow/laggy performance.

So far every time I push a button on this app, it takes me to a different page and doesn’t let me go back a page or renavigate a page. This is very disappointing, especially when I want to get information on a New York City building and they’re acting like they have the informationso that I can be more informed with what I’m getting involved with thank you so much

This app is very outdated and waste of time. Use NYC DOB Building Tracker app on the AppStore instead! It’s more updated and easier to use ⭐️
