What should be checked for a specific property?
A neighborhood name alone is not enough to assess a property. The formal title address, actual distance to the correct station entrance, walking route, road access, the building’s legal and technical status and any applicable restrictions must be checked for the specific property. District-level studies do not replace a building-level technical assessment.
