Build a Municipal Cadastral Boundary Encroachment Detector
Parse cadastral boundaries and building footprint extents from CityJSON objects. Identify unauthorized setbacks or property line encroachments to generate municipal zoning infraction notices.
What you are building
The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.
Parse cadastral boundaries and building footprint extents from CityJSON objects. Identify unauthorized setbacks or property line encroachments to generate municipal zoning infraction notices.
Municipal Land Records Auditor
Upload a municipal CityJSON parcel file containing Building and LandUse entities.
Calculate Euclidean distances between building boundary vertices and cadastral parcel edges.
Flag structural geometry exceeding legal zoning setback tolerances.
Generate an infraction report with spatial coordinates and parcel owner details.
Cadastral map viewer displaying property boundary overlays, encroachment polygons, and zoning citation generation tools.
Use open cadastral 3D city data from municipal open-data portals formatted under CityJSON 2.0 specifications. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.
CityJSON Extracts geographicalExtent and attributes like owner and measuredHeight from Building and LandUse CityObjects.
semantic-kernel, shapely, fastapi. Semantic Kernel orchestrates procedural geospatial plugin calculations with LLM-generated municipal citation notices. Hosted reasoning model supporting function calling to trigger boundary intersection checks and report generation.
Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.
Calculates minimum setback distance accurately across polygon boundaries.
Correctly identifies encroachments within millimeter precision of transformed vertices.
Formats zoning infraction notices containing parcel ID, owner, and distance breach.
