Optional permit type words and ZIP. Permits the city records as pulled by the property owner (OWNER) or without a company are left out. Each row links to that contractor's permits. A window with no named contractor is a successful result with count 0. - [Get permit](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/data-cincinnati-oh-gov/building-permits/get_permit): Read one City of Cincinnati building permit by permit number: the shared permit record merged from every row the city publishes for it (one per work item of a combination permit), the work items themselves with each row as published, and the contractors named on the permit plus those in the Building Permits Contacts dataset (vmk6-gy84; licensed trade contractors by relationship code, for permits applied 2012-2019). Owners, neighbours and mailing contacts are never read. An unknown permit number is not_found. - [Search code cases](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/data-cincinnati-oh-gov/building-permits/search_code_cases): Search code enforcement cases on data.cincinnati-oh.gov (Code Enforcement cncm-znd6): building, property maintenance, zoning, vacant building, tall grass and abandoned vehicle complaints, newest entered first. Filter by address, neighborhood, agency, case type, status, entry date window and the cases' own last-updated date, so an agent can poll for cases that changed. The dataset is the CAGIS feed: most cases are the City of Cincinnati's, some belong to other Hamilton County jurisdictions (agency names which). Rows the city repeats exactly are returned once. An empty page is a successful result with count 0. - [Search permits](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/data-cincinnati-oh-gov/building-permits/search_permits): Search City of Cincinnati building permits (Building Permits uhjb-xac9 on data.cincinnati-oh.gov), newest issued first. Filter by site address, ZIP, neighborhood, contractor company, permit type or code book, status, Hamilton County parcel number, application or issue date windows and minimum project value. Every record has the shared permit shape (number, type, status, dates, address, coordinates, parcel, value, housing units, contractor, CAGIS detail link, licence). The city publishes a combination permit as one row per work item, so a permit number can appear more than once, each row with its own type, status, issue date and value; get_permit merges them. The city reloads the data daily, so to monitor new permits poll applied_since or issued_since; dataset.updated_at says when it last reloaded. An empty page is a successful result with count 0. ## 1.

Filter by address, neighborhood, agency, case type, status, entry date window and the cases' own last-updated date, so an agent can poll for cases that changed. The dataset is the CAGIS feed: most cases are the City of Cincinnati's, some belong to other Hamilton County jurisdictions (agency names which). Rows the city repeats exactly are returned once. An empty page is a successful result with count 0. - Instructions: Violations, vacant building orders or open complaints at a Cincinnati address before or after a permit search; new or changed cases since a date in a neighborhood. - Cost: 5 credits per call - Capability file: [Search code cases](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/data-cincinnati-oh-gov/building-permits/search_code_cases) Accepted options: - `address` (string): Site street address, case-insensitive, words matched in order: 609 Walnut St, 2421 May. Only the part before a comma is used; spelled-out directions and street types become the city's abbreviations (West -> W, Avenue -> AV) and a leading house number is matched exactly, so 609 does not match 1609. Example: `
` - `agency` (string): Agency words, for example Buildings and Inspections, Public Services, Health, Forest Park. Example: `` - `case_type` (string): Words matched against the complaint type, subtype and category, for example Tall Grass, Vacant, Zoning, Graffiti, Buildings with Residences. Example: `` - `cursor` (string): The next_cursor of the previous page. Pattern: ^[0-9]{1,7}$. Example: `` - `entered_since` (string): First entry date, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD). Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$. Example: `` - `entered_until` (string): Last entry date, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD). Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$. Example: `` - `limit` (number): Records per page. Example: `25` - `neighborhood` (string): Neighborhood words, case-insensitive, for example Walnut Hills, Westwood. Example: `` - `sort` (string): Order, newest first, missing values last. Defaults to entered_desc, or updated_desc when only updated_since is given. Example: `entered_desc` - `status` (string): Words matched against the status, its code and class, for example open, Closed, Orders Issued, Citation. Example: `` - `updated_since` (string): Cases whose last_updated date is on or after this day (YYYY-MM-DD; the city publishes day precision). Without entry-date filters the default sort becomes updated_desc. Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$.

Capability: `building-permits/search_permits` - Description: Search City of Cincinnati building permits (Building Permits uhjb-xac9 on data.cincinnati-oh.gov), newest issued first. Filter by site address, ZIP, neighborhood, contractor company, permit type or code book, status, Hamilton County parcel number, application or issue date windows and minimum project value. Every record has the shared permit shape (number, type, status, dates, address, coordinates, parcel, value, housing units, contractor, CAGIS detail link, licence). The city publishes a combination permit as one row per work item, so a permit number can appear more than once, each row with its own type, status, issue date and value; get_permit merges them. The city reloads the data daily, so to monitor new permits poll applied_since or issued_since; dataset.updated_at says when it last reloaded. An empty page is a successful result with count 0. - Instructions: Permit history at a Cincinnati address or parcel, a contractor's jobs, new applications or issued permits since a date, large projects above a value. For one permit with every work item and its contacts use get_permit; for contractor rankings use contractor_activity. - Cost: 5 credits per call - Capability file: [Search permits](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/data-cincinnati-oh-gov/building-permits/search_permits) Accepted options: - `address` (string): Site street address, case-insensitive, words matched in order: 609 Walnut St, 2421 May. Only the part before a comma is used; spelled-out directions and street types become the city's abbreviations (West -> W, Avenue -> AV) and a leading house number is matched exactly, so 609 does not match 1609. Example: `
` - `applied_since` (string): First application date, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD). Poll for new applications with this; without issue-date filters the default sort becomes applied_desc. Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$. Example: `` - `applied_until` (string): Last application date, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD). Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$. Example: `` - `contractor` (string): Contractor company words, case-insensitive, matched in order against the permit's companyname, for example Apollo Heating. Contacts-only names (2012-2019) are not searched. Example: `` - `cursor` (string): The next_cursor of the previous page. Pattern: ^[0-9]{1,7}$. Example: `` - `issued_since` (string): First issue date, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD). Poll for newly issued permits with this. Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$. Example: `` - `issued_until` (string): Last issue date, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD). Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$. Example: `` - `limit` (number): Records per page. Example: `25` - `min_valuation` (number): Only permit rows whose estimated project cost is at least this many US dollars. Example: `10` - `neighborhood` (string): Cincinnati neighborhood words, case-insensitive, for example Over-the-Rhine, Hyde Park, Westwood. Example: `` - `parcel_id` (string): Hamilton County parcel number as CAGIS publishes it, 12 digits (006800020317); dashes and spaces are ignored. Example: `` - `permit_type` (string): Words matched against the work type, permit type, code book and new/existing class, for example New Building, HVAC, Wrecking, Signs, RCO, OBC. Example: `` - `sort` (string): Order, newest or largest first, missing values last. Defaults to issued_desc, or applied_desc when only application dates are filtered. Example: `issued_desc` - `status` (string): Words matched against the status and its code, for example Issued, In Review, Finaled, Withdrawn, Expired. Example: `` - `zip` (string): Five-digit site ZIP code, for example 45202. Pattern: ^[0-9]{5}$.
