Nyc Dob Violations

/as:nyc-dob-violations — DOB & ECB Violations

Look up DOB violations and ECB (Environmental Control Board) violations for any NYC building. Flags open violations prominently. No API key required.

Usage

/as:nyc-dob-violations 120 Broadway, Manhattan
/as:nyc-dob-violations 1000770001          (BBL)
/as:nyc-dob-violations 1001389             (BIN)

Steps 1–2: Parse Input & Resolve BBL/BIN

Read ../nyc-property-report/pluto-resolution.md (shared by all 7 NYC due-diligence skills) and follow it: parse the input (address, BBL, or BIN), resolve via PLUTO, and resolve BIN via Building Footprints — BIN is required for every query in Step 3.

Step 3: Query Violations

Dataset IDs and field names are canonical in ../nyc-property-report/socrata-reference.md — on any disagreement, the reference wins.

Query 3 datasets using BIN:

DOB Violations

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/3h2n-5cm9.json?$where=bin='{BIN}'&$order=issue_date DESC&$limit=50

Key fields: isn_dob_bis_viol, violation_type, issue_date, violation_category, disposition_date, disposition_comments

ECB Violations

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/6bgk-3dad.json?$where=bin='{BIN}'&$order=issue_date DESC&$limit=50

Key fields: isn_dob_bis_extract, ecb_violation_number, violation_type, issue_date, penality_imposed, amount_paid, balance_due, hearing_status, ecb_violation_status, severity

Active/Open Violations

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/sjhj-bc8q.json?$where=bin='{BIN}'

Returns only currently open violations (pre-filtered subset of DOB violations).

Step 4: Print Results

Open violations go first, flagged with ⚠.

## DOB & ECB Violations — {Address}

### ⚠ Open Violations: {count}

• All dates: YYYY-MM-DD
• Dollar amounts: comma-separated ($1,234)
• Open/active items flagged with ⚠
• If Socrata returns empty array: "No results found"
• If HTTP error: note it and suggest checking the address
• If the user requests, write results to a file

Final Step: Disclaimer + Marker (required)

This skill produces regulatory output. End every report this skill produces — printed in chat or saved to a file — with the canonical disclaimer block from rules/professional-disclaimer.md, followed by one blank line and the machine-readable marker, exactly as shown:

> **Disclaimer:** This is an AI-generated analysis for preliminary planning purposes. All findings must be verified by a licensed professional before use in design, permitting, or regulatory submissions.

<!-- architecture-studio:requires-disclaimer -->

The marker is a single end-of-file sentinel — it appears exactly once, as the last line of the report. The post-write-disclaimer-check hook parses saved .md reports for the marker and blocks the write if the canonical disclaimer block is missing.
