How to use LPR

WF 1 Read the map at a glance

Before you click anything, learn what every chip on the map is telling you.

What you're looking at

• Cyan numbered bubbles = clusters of parcels (zoom in to expand).
• Price chips like $1.5k~$12k show the LRA minimum on top and estimated market value below.
• Border color = property status (see legend top-right of the map, or the reference below).
• Red glow around a chip = parcel is owned by the Land Reutilization Authority (city-owned, often deeply discounted).

Steps

1. Open the map. The default view shows all 10,289 parcels.
2. Scroll the wheel to zoom in — clusters expand into individual chips around zoom 14, fully unclustered at zoom 17.
3. Hover the legend in the top-right of the map to confirm what each color means. Click collapse ↑ if it gets in the way.
4. Click any chip → popup shows full address, status, LRA min, estimated value, and quick-action buttons.

The legend is also a filter

• Click a status row (Vacant Lot, For Sale, Occupied, etc.) → map shows only that status. Click again to remove.
• Multi-select: click multiple status rows to OR them together (e.g. Vacant Lot + Vacant Building = all vacant inventory).
• LRA toggle: click LRA-owned (city) to keep only city parcels, or Non-LRA (private) to hide all LRA holdings and see only privately-owned property.
• Live count next to "MARKER LEGEND" shows visible / total as you toggle.
• Clear: press the red ✕ Clear filter button to restore the full set.

WF 2 Find $125 side lots next to your home

The LRA sells qualifying side lots to adjacent owner-occupants for $125. This is the cheapest legal path to expanding your footprint.

Steps

1. Type your address into the header search bar. 🔍 Press ↓ / ↑ to navigate autocomplete, Enter to pick.
2. Map zooms to your parcel. Look at the immediately adjacent chips with an amber border (vacant lot) and a red glow (LRA-owned).
3. Click the adjacent chip. In the popup look for side_lot_eligible: true and an LRA min of $125.
4. Use the → Planner button on the popup to stage it for offer modeling.

Or just ask the AI

Open the right-side Ask the Registry panel and type:

WF 3 Drill down on a single parcel

Go from "interesting chip" to "fully sourced dossier" in three clicks.

Steps

1. Click any chip on the map → mini-popup with the headline numbers.
2. Click Inspect in the popup → opens the right drawer with full detail:
   • Aerial photo (Esri World Imagery, cached)
   • Parcel facts: sqft, year built, frontage, zoning, legal description
   • Sale history with price-per-sqft trendline
   • LRA offers + garden permits if it's a city-owned parcel
   • Notes — your private annotations (autosaved per user)
3. Use the action row at the top of the drawer:
   • ★ Watch — adds to your watchlist (left sidebar)
   • Score — runs the redevelopment-potential model on the parcel only
   • → Planner — stages it in the Project Planner for offer modeling

WF 4 Ask the AI in plain English

No SQL, no filters — just type the question. The parser understands status, LRA, neighborhood, ward, NIS, side-lot, gardens, price/year ranges, sort intent, and result limits.

Two places to ask

• Header bar (top of every page) — typing <3 chars hits the address autocomplete, more than that hands off to AI on Enter.
• Right sidebar — Ask the Registry — full chat-style panel with suggestion chips. Results are auto-plotted on the map (other markers hide so you see only the matches with a cyan pulsing outline).

Query library

Reading the answer

• Interpretation line — one sentence echoing what was understood (e.g. "Found LRA-owned in Greater Ville (47 results).")
• Aggregate stats — median price, total sqft, breakdown by status when applicable.
• Result cards — click any to inspect; or use the floating ✕ Clear search button (top-right of map) to restore the full view.

WF 5 Compare neighborhoods or wards

Stack-rank pockets of the city by vacancy density, LRA inventory, or median price.

Steps

1. Open the filters in the left sidebar.
2. Pick a neighborhood from the dropdown → map filters and the stat tiles re-render.
3. Note the headline stats: Tracked / LRA / Vacant / For Sale / Median Price.
4. Switch the neighborhood filter to a comparison area; tiles update instantly.
5. Use the Layers toggle "Neighborhood Centroids" — hover any centroid to see its governance schedule (Board of Aldermen, Ward meeting, Community Association cadence).

Bulk comparison via AI

WF 6 Build a portfolio plan

Move parcels from "interesting" → "in the model" → "submitted offer".

Steps

1. Star (★ Watch) every chip you find compelling. The watchlist lives in the left sidebar and persists across sessions.
2. For your serious shortlist, click → Planner on the popup to stage in the Project Planner.
3. Open the Planner from the header (🧠 Planner link, planner-admins only).
4. For each staged parcel, set: strategy (rehab / land-bank / side-lot / flip), budget envelope, target close date, capital source.
5. Run Solve — the planner outputs the recommended order of operations, cash-flow waterfall, and offer-letter drafts ready to email through Anthesis Mail.

WF 7 Score & cluster scan

Surface vacancy pockets ripe for assemblage / TIF / NID.

Steps

1. In the left sidebar, expand Clusters and click Recompute (DBSCAN). The engine groups geographically-adjacent vacant parcels into pockets.
2. Each cluster card shows size, dominant neighborhoods, and a Zoom button.
3. Expand Recommendations to see the top-8 properties ranked by the redevelopment_score (composite of vacancy, LRA-status, sqft, comps, and corridor proximity).
4. Click Inspect on any recommendation → drill into Workflow 3.

REF Pricing model

How lra_min_price and estimated_value are computed.

LRA minimum bid floor

• $125 — side lot eligible (adjacent owner-occupant only)
• $1,500 — general vacant lot under 7,500 sqft
• $3,500 — large lot ≥ 7,500 sqft
• $6,000 — commercial-zoned lot
• $5,000 — vacant building floor (final price is appraisal-based)
• $25 — garden permit fee (annual, non-purchase)

Estimated value priority

1. Recent sale (≥ 2020) → use sale price
2. Active list price → use list
3. Sqft × per-sqft (residential $65, commercial $95)
4. Older sale (pre-2020) → use sale price as a weak signal
5. None — chip falls back to status code

Both fields ship with a basis string ("LRA general-lot floor", "non-LRA parcel", "recent sale 2023", etc.) — visible in every popup. Treat estimated values as starting points, not appraisals.
