  • what_can_i_build

    Whether a project can be built on a US property (a backyard home or ADU, an addition, a garage or shed, a fence, a new home, or a lot split), from what the record says about its district: status (yes, yes with limits, no, depends, or unread where the deciding rules have not been…

  • score_address

    The Buildability Score for any US street address, from live federal data (FEMA flood, USGS seismic, USDA soil, EPA radon, USFS wildfire, OSM utilities): score, band, status and every factor the score reads, each with its status, sub-score (only when read), source, record and rea…

  • envelope

    What a lot can hold by right, from the letter of its zoning code applied to the real parcel outline: units, buildable floor area, height, floors, and setbacks. `sources` labels each number: "code" (its section, URL, read date and quote are in `citations`), "derived" (computed fr…

  • outcomes

    Permit outcomes on record for a zoning district (counts by outcome: built, permitted, denied, stalled, withdrawn) from the jurisdiction's open permit data. `time_to_issue` gives days from application to issue per kind of work, with the sample size and date range; it counts only…

  • flood_zone

    The FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer zone at a US street address, read at the address point: zone, whether it is a Special Flood Hazard Area, zone subtype, floodway and base flood elevation where FEMA returns them, with the query URL and read date. Where FEMA has no polygon at t…

  • zoning_district

    The dimensional standards the Buildability Zoning Atlas has read for one zoning district (height, stories, dwelling units, lot size, width, depth and frontage, setbacks, floor-to-area ratio, coverage), each with its code section, source URL, read date and `source_text`: the ordi…

  • atlas_coverage

    Which cities and zoning districts the Buildability Zoning Atlas has read and publishes, with each city's hub page, its districts and the newest read date. Pass `state` (two-letter code) to narrow it. Use zoning_district to read one district's cited standards. A city that is not…

  • site_briefing

    Public records around a US street address: U.S. Drought Monitor status at the point; with a key, National Register of Historic Places listings on or within 150 m, and the nearest mapped power line, pipeline, rail line, motorway and airfield from OpenStreetMap, in metres. Each it…

  • cost_ranges

    What new construction costs, from U.S. government series only. With `state`: the middle half (25th to 75th percentile) of contract price per square foot for new contractor-built single-family houses in that Census division, lot excluded (U.S. Census Bureau, Survey of Constructio…

  • search

    Searches Buildability's public pages: Zoning Atlas district pages (cited dimensional standards), city zoning source packs, the canonical product and methodology pages, and articles. Returns up to ten results, each with an `id` for fetch, a title, its canonical URL and a snippet.…

  • fetch

    Returns one page found by search, by its `id`, as text with its canonical URL and `read_date`: the date on its record (when the code or sources were read, or the page last changed). Cite the URL.

  • compare_addresses

    One row per US street address, in the order given (never sorted by Score): Buildability Score, band, the landmine caps that bound it, FEMA flood zone at the address point, zoning district, and whether the district's dimensional standards are on record (yes/no), each with its sou…
