Brella OSEvery Address Arrives With Its Building and Its Hazards
Pick the address. The parcel fills from the public record, the map finds it, and the risk summary looks itself up, each hazard rating naming its source.
A real lookup, on a real address
5050 N Sheridan Rd, Chicago: its buildings, its census tract, FEMA’s flood zones along Lake Michigan and the distance to the water, all from public data. Drag to turn it; switch layers below.
Where each rating comes from
Public data, named. A rating is never shown as more precise than its data, and a lookup that failed reads “Not checked”, never low.

The parcel, onto every form
The lookup fills property type, use and year built, and the record’s stories, construction, roof, sprinklers, market and land value. Every value is editable, and what a person enters always wins.
- The ACORD 140 prints a building’s flood zone; the schedule of values prints the parcel’s facts
- Satellite for the roof, Street View for the front
- Bird fills the gaps you give it, and never copies the record’s owner into Named insured
