    Why it is in this group

    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    When a covered Vancouver house was built and what stood there: the building permit (1901–1930) and the City's year built, what the 1912 fire insurance map draws on the lot and whether today's building is very likely that one, what stands today, and who lived there in each directory year with each listing's source page. Residents' names through 1945 only; later years show a household and job without names. Anything inferred is marked inferred.

  • find_houseLook up a Vancouver address, or a resident's surname from 1945 or earlier, in AddressLore's coverage.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "find_house" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Look up a Vancouver address, or a resident's surname from 1945 or earlier, in AddressLore's coverage. Returns the matching house's path for house_history, or says plainly that the address isn't covered (never a nearby house in its place), with the covered streets.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
