Developed through a collaboration between the City of Boston's Department of Neighborhood Development and the Department of Innovation and Technology, RentSmart Boston compiles data from BOS:311 and the City's Inspectional Services Division to give prospective tenants a more complete picture of the homes and apartments they are considering renting. The tool prompts users for an address and generates a report to assist prospective tenants in understanding any previous issues with the property, including: - Housing violations - Building violations - Enforcement violations - Housing complaints - Sanitation requests and/or - Civic maintenance requests The City has released 15 Snapchat filters in total. Filters for Roxbury, Charlestown, and Hyde Park went live in June. If you’ve never used a Snapchat filter, here’s how they work: - Open the Snapchat app. - Make sure you’re location is switched “on” for the app, as the filters will vary based on what neighborhood you’re in. - Take a picture. - Swipe to the right and you’ll see the different filters available. (There may be a few for the location you’re in, so keep swiping if you don’t see the one you’re looking for right away.)
