- Takes about 3 minutes, no signup wall
- Scored against the same red flags our assessors use in the field
- Results reviewed by a senior NY/NJ assessor if you ask for follow-up

How it works
Three steps, no account required. You see the result before you decide whether to speak to anyone.
- 1
Describe the property
Property type, approximate age, size, and the transaction driving the review — acquisition, refinance, lease, or redevelopment.
- 2
Flag the history
Prior uses, neighbouring operations, known contamination, on-site features such as tanks or fill, and any open regulatory status.
- 3
Read the score
You get a risk rating, the specific drivers behind it, and a recommended scope — from no further action to a targeted Phase II.
What you get
A risk rating you can act on
Low, elevated, or high, with the individual factors that pushed the score in each direction so nothing is a black box.
Likely findings, named
The specific conditions a Phase I ESA would probably surface on a property with this profile — historic fill, USTs, dry cleaner adjacency, and so on.
A recommended next step
Whether a standard ASTM E1527-21 Phase I is enough, or whether you should budget for subsurface work up front.
