1	# /nyc-dob-permits — DOB Permit & Filing History
2
3	Look up all DOB permits and job filings for any NYC building across both Legacy BIS and DOB NOW systems. No API key required.
4
5	## Usage
6
7	```
8	/nyc-dob-permits 120 Broadway, Manhattan
9	/nyc-dob-permits 1000770001 (BBL)
10	/nyc-dob-permits 1001389 (BIN)
11	```
12
13	## Steps 1–2: Parse Input & Resolve BBL/BIN
14
15	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.
16
17	## Step 3: Query DOB Permits & Filings
18
19	Dataset IDs and field names are canonical in `../nyc-property-report/socrata-reference.md` — on any disagreement, the reference wins.
20
21	Query all 4 datasets using BIN. IMPORTANT: Legacy datasets use `bin__` (double underscore). DOB NOW datasets use `bin`.
22
23	### Legacy Permit Issuance
24	```
25	https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/ipu4-2q9a.json?$where=bin__='{BIN}'&$order=issuance_date DESC&$limit=30
26	```
27	Key fields: `permit_si_no`, `job__`, `job_type`, `issuance_date`, `expiration_date`, `permittee_s_first_name`, `permittee_s_last_name`, `owner_s_first_name`, `owner_s_last_name`
28
29	### Legacy Job Filings
30	```
31	https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/ic3t-wcy2.json?$where=bin__='{BIN}'&$order=latest_action_date DESC&$limit=30
32	```
33	Key fields: `job__`, `doc__`, `job_type`, `job_status`, `latest_action_date`, `applicant_s_first_name`, `applicant_s_last_name`
34
35	### DOB NOW Approved Permits
36	```
37	https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/rbx6-tga4.json?$where=bin='{BIN}'&$order=approved_date DESC&$limit=30
38	```
39	Key fields: `job_filing_number`, `work_permit`, `permit_status`, `work_type`, `approved_date`, `issued_date`, `expired_date` (this dataset has NO `filing_date` or `job_type` — use `approved_date` / `work_type`)
40
41	### DOB NOW Job Filings
42	```
43	https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/w9ak-ipjd.json?$where=bin='{BIN}'&$order=filing_date DESC&$limit=30
44	```
45	Key fields: `job_filing_number`, `filing_status`, `filing_date`, `job_type`
46
47	## Step 4: Print Results
48
49	Merge all results, sort by date descending. Group by job type:
50	- NB = New Building
51	- A1 = Alteration Type 1 (major — changes use/egress/occupancy)
52	- A2 = Alteration Type 2 (multiple work types)
53	- A3 = Alteration Type 3 (minor, one work type)
54	- DM = Demolition
55	- Other = Everything else

80	Note: Pre-BIS records (before ~1989) are not digitized. If this building predates 1989 and few records appear, earlier permits exist only on paper.

83	```
84
85	If no results from any dataset: "No DOB permits or filings found for this property."
86
87	### Conventions
88	- All dates: YYYY-MM-DD
89	- If Socrata returns empty array: "No results found"
90	- If HTTP error: note it and suggest checking the address
91	- If the user requests, write results to a file
92	- Check PLUTO `yearbuilt` — if before 1989, add the pre-BIS note
93
94	## Final Step: Disclaimer + Marker (required)
95
96	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:
