Evictorbook Tool for Researching Your Landlord

Evictorbook is a web-based tool to support the housing organizers and tenants in researching properties, landlords, and the complicated webs of corporate ownership behind them. By relating the past three decades of eviction data to properties and their historical owners, the site helps tenants and organizers identify serial evictors, their shell companies, other properties in their portfolio, and suspicious (possibly illegal!) eviction patterns.

Evictorbook is a tool made by the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project (AEMP), a data-visualization, critical cartography, and multimedia storytelling collective documenting dispossession and resistance upon gentrifying landscapes. We, the volunteers of AEMP, work together to create tools like Evictorbook to fight displacement across the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and New York City.

Evictorbook currently works only for San Francisco, though an Oakland version is on the way.
