HERS Rating Services in Chinatown-Leather District, MA

HERS Rating Company provides certified HERS Index ratings throughout the Chinatown-Leather District, a compact downtown neighborhood built on filled tidal flats in the early 1800s. Chinatown has been a center of Chinese immigrant life since the 1880s, while the adjacent Leather District grew into the city’s leather-trade hub after the Great Boston Fire of 1872 — its sturdy mercantile loft buildings now widely converted to residences. In climate zone 5A, our RESNET-accredited raters deliver fast, accurate energy ratings across these historic conversions while keeping projects compliant with Boston’s energy code.

Whether you are converting a 19th-century warehouse on Lincoln Street into lofts or renovating a residential building in Chinatown, our certified HERS raters provide every document the City of Boston Inspectional Services Department requires for permits and final inspections.
