The BIP at 20!

by UNHP
2026 marks the 20th anniversary of UNHP’s Building Indicator Project (BIP). The BIP database tracks the levels of physical and financial distress in over 70,000 NYC multifamily apartment buildings and data from the database has been used in a number of affordable housing reports. The BIP continues to make a significant impact in the affordable housing community today.

“UNHP has emerged as a thought leader on multi-family housing distress-a key issue facing all boroughs of New York City.”
