I am looking for an AI developer to create a tool that automates comprehensive NYC zoning and building code analysis. This system will fetch property data from NYC’s ZOLA website based on a provided address, gather related maps and details, and generate thorough zoning reports. Additionally, it should analyze NYC building codes to provide specific building requirements (e.g., egress, trash chutes) based on factors like building height and use.
Key Responsibilities:
Data Retrieval: Develop a solution to extract property data and zoning maps from NYC ZOLA.
Detailed Zoning Analysis: Ensure the tool navigates NYC’s zoning codes to produce detailed reports, including:
Zoning district regulations
Floor area ratios (FAR) and height limits
Setback, lot coverage, and open space requirements
Building Code Integration: Cross-reference NYC building codes to provide tailored requirements, such as:
Egress and fire safety standards based on building height and occupancy
Trash chute requirements for residential and commercial buildings
Accessibility compliance (ADA) and other structural regulations
Requirements:
Proficiency in data extraction, web scraping, and API integration
Experience in processing complex regulatory data (preferably zoning or legal data)
Strong background in Python or a similar language for automation
Familiarity with NYC zoning and building codes is a plus but not mandatory
Preferred Skills:
Prior projects related to real estate or zoning automation
Experience with generating structured reports from large datasets
Understanding of architectural or regulatory frameworks
Project Scope and Budget:
I’m open to starting with a basic prototype that ensures accuracy in zoning data retrieval and analysis. Please provide a proposed timeline and cost estimate, including any recommendations on phased development.
How to Apply:
Submit your portfolio showcasing relevant projects, particularly those involving data automation and regulatory analysis. Include a brief cover letter explaining how you would approach this project and handle the complexity of NYC zoning and building code integration.
