Based on SOC occupation classification
Look up ACRIS property transaction records for any NYC property — deeds, mortgages, satisfactions, liens, and ownership history. Use when the user asks who owns a building, when it last sold or for how much, or whether there are mortgages or liens against it. NYC only; for permits or violations use the DOB skills.
Look up Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA) variances and special permits for any NYC property. Use when checking whether a lot carries zoning relief — variances, special permits, appeals — that modifies its as-of-right envelope. NYC only; for base zoning controls use /zoning-analysis-nyc.
Look up DOB permit and job filing history for any NYC building — new-building, alteration, and demolition filings with status and dates. Use when the user asks what work was filed or permitted at an address, or to gauge renovation history during due diligence. NYC only; for open violations use /nyc-dob-violations.
Look up open and resolved DOB and ECB violations for any NYC building, with class, status, and penalty detail. Use when the user asks whether a building has violations, stop-work orders, or outstanding ECB penalties. NYC only; for housing-code violations use /nyc-hpd.
Look up HPD violations, complaints, and building registration for residential buildings.
Check if a NYC building is landmarked or in a historic district using LPC data.
