Crime statistics

Per-neighborhood crime, ranked across NYC.

Coordinates from the listing page are mapped to the official NYC Neighborhood Tabulation Area by point-in-polygon. The module shows murder, felony assault, and property crime, each ranked against all 197 neighborhoods. The default measure is an ambient risk index — incidents per 100,000 people present (residents plus daytime workers). Per-resident rate, density, and raw counts are also available, across 3-, 12-, and 24-month windows.

Data ships inside the extension, compiled from NYPD complaint records on NYC Open Data. No lookups over the network.

Square footage

Room square footage from listing photos.

Group a listing's photos into rooms; the extension estimates each floor area with a computer-vision pipeline on a local backend. Semantic segmentation isolates the floor, a metric-depth model recovers geometry, and the floor plane is measured in real-world units. Photos are fetched and analyzed on your machine.

Room square footage — local backend

git clone https://github.com/umqadir/streeteasy-enhanced-extension.git
cd streeteasy-enhanced-extension/selfhost
bash scripts/install.sh        # python env + ~4 GB of model weights
bash scripts/start_backend.sh  # http://127.0.0.1:8787

Requires uv. Runs on any machine; an NVIDIA GPU enables multi-photo mode. See selfhost/README.

Privacy

Runs on your device.

No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Crime lookups run against data bundled in the extension; photo analysis contacts only 127.0.0.1. MIT-licensed and open source. Privacy policy.

Notes

Affiliation

Independent open-source project. Not affiliated with or endorsed by StreetEasy, Zillow Group, the NYPD, or the City of New York.

Data sources

NYPD complaint records on NYC Open Data, joined with NYC neighborhood boundaries, 2020 Census population, and Census LODES workplace counts. Compiled offline by the scripts in the repository.

Why square footage needs a separate install

It runs computer-vision models that can't ship inside a browser extension. Running them locally also keeps the photos on your machine.
