Inspiration

Back in the 1800s, some immigrants had no sense where they can reside when they first planted their two feet in New York City. My team and I were stimulated to find a solution - to help guide immigrants to nearby tenements that they were comfortable with.

What it does

This app has a mapping system of New York City to help guide immigrants to hospitable tenement locations.

How we built it

Using web app developing languages, namely HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, we were able to make a custom-built Google Maps Platform with pinpoints of tenements in the New York City vicinity for immigrants to access by making an account.

Challenges we ran into

We found it quite difficult and strenuous to gather the various coordinates of many tenements and put all that into code. It was also a tad-bit difficult arranging the pages on the app version.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We finally we're able to manage all the data into code and we were able to style the pages with a nice touch.

What we learned

We learned about advanced web app development.

What's next for ImmiRent

We might add information and reviews under each pinpoint about each tenement so immigrants looking for tenements can choose based on their reviews.
