Decided by code
Deterministic: same rules, facts and date give the same answer.
- Jurisdiction: listed only for addresses whose state or legal city is MA-BOSTON.
- Dates: in force from 2020-11-06; before that, not yet in force.
- Coverage: tested against what the building is used for, the number of units, whether the building is subsidised; a missing fact gives "unknown", never a guess.
