Gather this before you write. A backed complaint gets investigated; an unbacked one gets filed away.
It happens often: the noise comes from works that also lack a permit, and the owner turns out to be the same person who blocked your right of way. When three things overlap, a guide organised by category falls short.
This is where a language model — Claude, ChatGPT, whichever — genuinely helps: tell it the whole tangle, out of order, the way you would tell a neighbour, and ask it to separate how many distinct matters there are and who handles each. Then come back here and build one document per matter.
But know how it fails, because it fails in a dangerous way.
These models invent articles, deadlines, decrees and even whole institutions, and they do it in flawless Spanish with great confidence. Turning up at a counter citing a decree that does not exist costs you the case and your credibility, and the person behind the counter will not explain why.
The rule: every institution, law, article or deadline an AI gives you, check it here before you use it. Who does what. If it is not in that directory, treat it as false until you confirm it on the institution’s own page.
And if the tangle involves property, money or someone threatening you, no AI replaces a lawyer. There is free legal help: where to find it.
