Woodpecker for AI assistants
Ask ChatGPT or Claude about a New York City building and get the city's own record for it.
What you can ask
- Is the HPD registration valid for 787 East 56 Street, Brooklyn?
- Which HPD filing violations are open on my building?
- What does Woodpecker charge for a building with 6 apartments?
- Who has to file the December bed bug report?
The answers come from NYC Open Data and from the same code as this website.

What it never does
It never creates an order, never asks for or stores personal details, and never signs anything. A "pay" link always leads to the building page on this site, where the owner sees the record and the price and decides. Prices come from the pricing page; the rules come from the guides, which cite HPD.
