How we rank buildings

We added up two years of city records for every apartment building and motel in Albuquerque. An order from inspectors to move people out counts 4 points. An order to make repairs counts 2. A report of no heat, water or power counts 1, and so does a city case that's still open. Any other housing complaint to 311 counts a quarter point.

We read the case file behind every order we count. Reports of no heat, water or power come from city cases and 311 calls, so some are what a caller said, not what an inspector found. Owners come from county tax records, except for the 10 on the city's list, where we use the owner the city names. "Same office" means the tax bills go to the same mailing address. Owners who are private people, not companies, are not named.

Records from October 21, 2024 to October 21, 2026. Building names come from OpenStreetMap.
