Data integrity

60/100
CorroboratedData Integrity Index
Independent inspection
Owner self-reported — never independently field-inspected
Location confidence
⚠ Location-suspect — recorded coordinates may be mislocated
Terrain cross-check (USGS 3DEP)
FAA 156 ft MSL · USGS ground 19 ft · Δ 137 ft
Differential consistent with an elevated / rooftop pad
Structure cross-check (Overture / OSM)
Ground-level — no building footprint at the coordinate
Cross-source consensus
⚠ Sources conflict — FAA elevation sits above terrain, but no building is at the coordinate
Either a freestanding / tower pad or a mislocated coordinate — independent verification recommended.

Cross-checked against independent public data — USGS 3DEP terrain, Overture/OSM building footprints, the federal hospital registry, and measured dimensions. The State of the U.S. Heliport Record →

No heliport precedent — typically the binding gate for rooftop and hospital pads.
Obstruction clearance
Clear — no obstructions within 0.5 nm on the FAA obstacle file

Measured against FAA pad geometry and federal FATO sizing (EB-105). A dimensional pre-screen — site-level validation required, and independent of the underwriting risk score.
