🟢search_buildings(query, city)
Search LucidRents for apartment buildings by address, building name, or partial address. Covers ~2M buildings in New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago with public-record data: housing violations, 311 complaints, tenant reviews, rents, and building scores. Returns up to 10 matches with each building's slug (needed for get_building_report / get_review_summary) and its lucidrents.com report URL. Start here when the user gives an address.

}🟢get_building_report(city, slug)
Full report card for one building: LucidIQ score and letter grade, HPD/DOB violation counts, 311 complaint total, top violation categories (pests, heat, leaks, ...), review count and average rating, rent summary by bedroom count, rent stabilization, landlord name with their record URL, and 2-3 similar nearby buildings. Requires the building's slug — call search_buildings first if you only have an address. The returned url has the complete timeline, all reviews, and rent history; share it with the user.
