Could you build this?
Partial While the Chrome extension and StreetEasy DOM parsing are straightforward to vibe-code, calculating sunlight ray-casting per floor and compiling accurate NYC rent-stabilization tax datasets require specialized geospatial data engineering.
What it would actually take: The system requires aggregating and cleaning NYC open data (PLUTO, DHCR registration lists, 421-a/J-51 tax benefit rolls) joined by BBL identifiers. Additionally, simulating direct sunlight requires a 3D city building mass model (NYC 3D Building Model / LIDAR) and running solar ray-casting algorithms against spatial geometry to compute hourly obstruction.
