The Problem

Pre-Development Research Is Fragmented

Every development decision starts with research across 5+ city agencies — DOB for permits, DOF for tax lots, HPD for violations, ACRIS for title, and MLS for market comps. None of these systems talk to each other.

5 City Agencies

DOB, DOF, HPD, ACRIS, and DCP each have their own portal, format, and search logic. No unified view of a site.

Zoning Complexity

NYC's zoning code is 1,000+ pages. Determining buildable area, FAR, setbacks, and use groups requires deep expertise.

Market Validation

Is this the right location? What are comps selling for? What's the absorption rate? All separate research tracks.

Offering Plan Preparation

Compiling Schedule A data, amendment history, and unit pricing for new developments — a manual, error-prone process.
