- First release-candidate edition. Bay corrected the form identity before publication: the legacy City URL now serves the July 12, 2026 form, so it is not evidence of a current $286 form.
Source-defined scenario
DBI's published process for preparing and sending a request for a Report of Residential Building Record (3R). Building, condominium, and co-op instructions remain source-stated facts; Bay does not select a branch or request count.

|
| Amount replaced by Ordinance 112-26 | $286 | dated older amount The signed ordinance shows $286 as the struck prior amount and $379 as the enacted amount. No live application is cited for $286 in this edition.
