Ask Claude about any NYC property
A plain-English question. An answer grounded in the actual municipal record, with citations — without leaving the conversation. That is what we are building, and this page is honest about the fact that it is not shipped yet.
“What’s the development headroom on this lot, and is there anything on file I should worry about?”
Claude answers from the record: the built floor area against the zoning ceiling with the Zoning Resolution section that sets it, the open violations on file, any City enforcement designations — housing litigation, vacate orders, emergency-repair billing — and a link to the full typeset dossier. Every claim carries its citation; where the record is silent, the answer says “no record on file” rather than guessing.
Illustrative exchange. The live integration answers from the municipal record at the moment you ask — figures on this page would be stale the day we printed them, so we don’t print any.
What you’ll be able to ask
“Who owns this lot, and what's it zoned?”
Resolve any address or BBL to its parcel record — owner of record, lot dimensions, zoning district, assessed value.
“How much more can be built here?”
The full zoning envelope: built vs. maximum FAR, height and setback rules, special-district overlays — each rule with its Zoning Resolution citation.
“Is any part of this parcel in a flood zone?”
A per-lot FEMA flood determination — inside or outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, with the share of the lot affected. Never a ZIP-code approximation.
“Pull the full dossier.”
The same typeset PDF dossier the web product generates — zoning, flood, violations, ownership, enforcement history — delivered into the conversation.
“What nearby lots compare to this one?”
Spatial comparable-lot search around the subject parcel, from the same recorded facts the dossier uses.
“Screen this whole list.”
Bulk lookups across a portfolio of BBLs in one request — the conversational front end to the screening the REST API does today.
Your plan, your meter
The integration will authenticate against your PearlAudit account and meter against the same plan you already have — no separate subscription, no second bill. See pricing for current plans.
What it won’t do
- It isn’t live yet. The integration is in development. This page exists so you can tell us you want it — not to sell you something that doesn’t run. What runs today: the REST API, documented with a try-it sandbox.
- New York City only. Five boroughs. If your deal is in Jersey City, we are not your tool.
- Records lag.Municipal records publish on the City’s schedule, typically weeks after the underlying event. Every answer will carry its as-of date. See methodology.
- Not legal, title, or appraisal advice. PearlAudit reports the public record with citations. It does not predict, value, or advise — in Claude or anywhere else.
