Write web app that displays a list of affordable-housing properties and associated code-enforcement cases

[evankroske]

Write a web app in JavaScript, Python, or another language that displays a list of affordable-housing properties and provides a link to code-enforcement cases related to each property.

Resources

• San Jose affordable-housing datasets
• HTTP API for looking up code-enforcement cases related to an address

Is there a newer URL for the datasets?

[evankroske]

Yes, I've updated the URL.

Thanks. I talked to Kevin in the meet up here and he said that this would be a helpful app for the community. Also he mentioned that visualizing the list of affordable housing dataset itself would be useful for the community. So we are getting started with this. Is there any other project built as a python web app that I can steal for this project for a template?

Instead of writing and hosting a web app, I was thinking that someone could write a script that produces an HTML file that we could host using GitHub Pages.

We almost have that script+html file. We will be checking in the code and will let you know. In the meantime, can you point me to another task similar to this (requiring python, webapp, data visualization etc.) that we can start reviewing?

Thanks, -Murali Dharan

FYI, here's the Housing department's map of affordable housing properties. http://csj-housing.appspot.com/index.html

Hi: The script+html file is https://github.com/ashwinmd/affordable-housing; Can you please review? we have a few qns: The POST request to the code violations website is not honored by the website due to some cross-origin server (CORS) violation. You can take the html file and click on the URL and view the javascript inspector to see the violation that is reported. However, the CURL command seems to work fine. The dataset has an excel spreadsheet with multiple tabs and we converted into 1 CSV file manually. Please review these and send us your comments.

Could you create a pull request to add your code to the directory "affordable-housing-code-violations" in the following repository?

This project isn't big enough for its own repository. Here's how to create a pull request:
