F-012: Building Profiles

Status: 💡 Proposed · Priority: P2 · Updated: Mar 4, 2026

Summary

First-class building entities that group rental units at the same address. Gives tenants better insight into where they'll live — building amenities, all units, management info. Depends on F-014: Properties as foundation.

Requirements

• [ ] Buildings table with name, address, year built, total units, management company
• [ ] Building-level amenities (gym, pool, doorman, parking, etc.)
• [ ] Building detail page at /buildings/:id
• [ ] Listings link to buildings via optional buildingId FK
• [ ] Building page aggregates active + historical listings
• [ ] Landlords can create building profiles when listing
• [ ] Address-based deduplication

Design

See product analysis for detailed data model.

Entity relationship: Building → Property → Listing. Buildings group properties at the same street address. Should be built on top of the Properties layer (F-014).

Building detail page shows:

• Name, address, photo gallery
• Building amenities grid
• Management company info
• Active listings in this building
• Historical listings (rented/archived)
• Average rent by bedroom count
• Future: tenant reviews and ratings

Open questions:

• Should building creation require admin approval?
• How to handle buildings without a formal name (just an address)?
• Tenant reviews — moderation strategy?

Discussion Notes

Jan 20, 2026

• Initial proposal as Phase 11
• Identified dependency on Properties (F-014) — buildings group properties, not listings directly

Implementation Notes

Not yet started. Blocked by F-014 (Properties & History).
