PropSafety

For multifamily acquisition teams

Crime data underwriters can actually defend.

Stop pasting addresses into five different sites at 2 a.m. before bid submission. Type an address, get a number you can defend: national percentile, within-metro rank, and a plain-English recommendation — with the source, the basis size and the data date attached. Jurisdiction-level in 147 metros. Block-level in 23 cities, wherever a city publishes open incident data (full list), always labelled. Methodology stays visible. Sources are FBI public data. Built for the analyst, defensible to the IC.

Three lookups on an email. No card, no password. Early Access pricing for the first 50 customers, grandfathered forever. Cancel anytime, 30-day money back.

Address in, defensible answer out.

Type an address. PropSafety geocodes it, identifies the policing agency, pulls reported violent and property crime from the FBI Crime Data Explorer, and ranks it three ways: against the national basis of 3,350 agencies across 147 metros, against other agencies in its own metro, and against the state baseline. You get a letter grade, the underlying rates, and a one-line plain-English summary — plus the year-over-year direction — shown only when the change is larger than the agency's own sampling noise, so a small department's random swing is never dressed up as a trend.

Every figure is traceable to the agency, the source dataset, and the publish date. No proprietary scores. No black boxes. The methodology sits behind a "Show methodology" disclosure so an analyst can defend the number in front of the IC.

PropSafety result card — composite grade, metro percentile, state ratio, plain-English summary and recommendation

Built for the workflow underwriters actually run.

147 metros across the US

3,350 policing agencies across 147 metros — coverage now spans the Northeast, Southeast, mid-USA, mountain west, Pacific Northwest, and California. The markets multifamily acquisition teams actually run deals in. New metros added as customer signal directs.

Three lenses, one answer

The letter is the national percentile across all 3,350 agencies, so the same grade means the same thing in every market and two deals in different cities can be compared directly. Beside it, labelled separately: the within-metro percentile (is this normal for Houston?), the state-baseline ratio, and the median rate for agencies serving a similar population — because a 500,000-person city and a small town are not the same question.

The number leaves with its provenance

Print to PDF, or copy a plain-text citation, and every figure travels with its source, its basis size and its data date attached. That is the difference between a screenshot and something that can go in an IC memo and survive being questioned.

FBI public data, dated per agency

Source: FBI Crime Data Explorer. Agencies report on their own schedules, so every figure carries the exact month it came from rather than one date stamped across the site. Current coverage runs from 12-2025 to 06-2026 depending on the agency. No "real-time" claims we can't honor. No re-licensed third-party data that could vanish. Public domain, defensible at the IC.

Who PropSafety is for.

For the underwriting analyst. You're the one pulling crime data the night before a bid is due. PropSafety gives you a number, a one-line explanation, and a trend — fast enough to add to a model and defensible enough to put in a memo.

For the acquisitions VP / Director. Your team is spending hours on inconsistent, city-by-city crime sources that don't compare to each other. PropSafety standardizes the input so deals across markets are comparable, with a methodology your team can actually explain in committee.

What we don't say.

Why this exists.

I'm Kobina Nyame. I invest in multifamily, which means I underwrite deals and I sit in the meetings where somebody asks "what's the crime like there?" and nobody has an answer they'd be willing to put in writing.

I built PropSafety because I was pasting addresses into five different sites the night before a bid was due and still couldn't put a number in the memo I was comfortable defending. It started as my own tool. It works, so I'm selling it.
