Inside the answer

Ask. Cite. Verify.

Every answer comes back cited. A green marker means the text is in our library — click it to jump straight to the PDF page. An amber marker means the publisher restricts that text, so the AI answered and the citation opens the publisher’s own page instead.

Usually 2 years from the date it is issued. It expires sooner if work has not started within 6 months, or if work stops for 6 months or more.

What if I need more time to finish?

Apply in writing before the permit expires, with the fee and a schedule for the remaining work. The City may grant up to one extra year, at its discretion.
