We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Duties, Requirements, maybe Pay, Schedule? The posting includes salary ranges: "ANNUAL SALARY $75,627 to $110,580 and $89,115 to $130,332". Also notes about start of pay range. So we can include a Pay section with that info. Schedule not mentioned. Benefits not mentioned. So we include sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? The duties paragraph is long; we can put under

Responsibilities

with

. Requirements: we have multiple bullet points; we can use

  • . Also include Process Notes? Might be considered part of Requirements? But we can include a separate section for Process Notes? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Process Notes includes driver license, etc. That's specific content; we could make a section like "Requirements" already includes qualifications; but process notes about driver license etc could be part of Requirements or a separate "Additional Requirements". However we should avoid many thin sections. Could combine driver license info into Requirements as list items. Also include notes about accreditation, etc. Could be part of Requirements. We also have "WHERE TO APPLY & APPLICATION DEADLINE" etc. That's application instructions, which we must remove per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop all that. Also selection process details etc are application instructions? They are part of examination process; might be considered instructions. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop the selection process, essay, interview details, etc. Also drop notes about disability accommodation etc (EEO). Also drop "WHERE TO APPLY & APPLICATION DEADLINE". Also drop "NOTES: This examination is based on a validation study..." etc (EEO). Also drop final paragraphs about benefits etc (maybe not application instructions but could be considered boilerplate). The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The benefits notice about employee benefit coverage is not EEO but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about benefits; but we are not to create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits notice: "Notice : If you receive and accept an offer of employment to a regular position with the City of Los Angeles, your employee benefit coverage (including health and dental coverage as well as life insurance) will commence approximately six weeks after your original regular appointment. Not all positions in the City receive benefit coverage; you should inquire regarding the availability of employee benefits prior to accepting a position. All City employees are required to be Disaster Service Workers." This is specific content about benefits. Should we include a Benefits section? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state benefits notice, so we can include a Benefits section with that info. However it's somewhat boilerplate but it's specific. We'll include. Also we have salary info: we need Pay section. We have no schedule info, so omit Schedule. We have duties paragraph: we can put under Responsibilities. We have requirements: we can put under Requirements. We have process notes (driver license, etc.) maybe incorporate into Requirements as additional items. We also have notes about accreditation, etc. Could be part of Requirements. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details like salary ranges, notes about start of pay range, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's extract substantive content: Duties: "A Housing Investigator conducts preliminary and follow-up investigations of alleged violations of the City’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) and/or Housing Code (Los Angeles Municipal Code Chapters XV and XVI); gathers and evaluates evidence through investigative research, which may include inspecting properties, interviewing tenants, complainants, landlords, and other witnesses; obtains physical and documentary evidence; compiles, evaluates and organizes legal documents; undertakes legal research; prepares oral and written reports on investigative findings; prepares legal cases for referrals to the City Attorney’s Office Criminal Division; negotiates complaint settlements and case closures with landlords and tenants; represents the City at public events to provide information about the RSO; may act as a head investigator reviewing the work of a team of housing investigators; may supervise investigative support and public counter staff; and performs related work." That's the duties. Requirements: Several options: Option 1: Graduation from an accredited four-year college or university, and one year of full-time, paid professional experience investigating complaints, conducting inspections, conducting interviews, researching and referencing laws/ordinances, evaluating evidence, preparing narrative written reports on investigative findings, and compiling, evaluating, and organizing legal documents related to civil or criminal enforcement actions; Option 2: or A paralegal certificate from a paralegal training program within the United States and one year of full-time, paid paralegal experience investigating complaints, evaluating evidence and preparing legal documents related to civil or criminal enforcement actions; Option 3: or Four years of full-time paid experience investigating complaints, conducting inspections, conducting interviews, researching and referencing laws/ordinances, evaluating evidence, preparing narrative written reports on investigative findings, and compiling, evaluating, and organizing legal documents, one year of which must be related to civil or criminal enforcement actions. Also notes: "For qualifying work experience in Requirement #1, the term “professional experience” applies to positions that require possession of a degree from an accredited four-year college or university in order to obtain that position. Therefore, to be considered “professional,” qualifying experience must be gained in positions requiring a four-year degree." "Applicants filing under Requirement #1 must list their school name, location, type of degree earned and major in the Education Section of the application. Applicants who fail to provide this information on their application will not be considered further in this examination and their applications will not be processed." "Applicants filing under Requirement #2 must submit a paralegal certificate at the time of filing. The copy of the certificate must be attached to the on-line application BEFORE the application is submitted. If the certificate is attached AFTER the on-line application has been submitted, it will not be available to the City and applicants WILL NOT be credited with having submitted it. Applicants who fail to submit the certificate at the time of filing by not attaching it to the on-line application WILL NOT be considered further in this examination." "Experience in Housing Law is highly desired." "Please note that qualifying education must be from a college or university accredited by a City of Los Angeles recognized agency. A list of approved accrediting agencies can be found at https://personnel.lacity.gov/Accredited%20Institutions%2008-21-08.pdf ." "Candidates completing the examination process may be contacted by the Personnel Department to provide required proof of qualifying degree and coursework. Applicants who wish to expedite this process may attach a copy of their qualifying degree and transcripts to their on-line application at the time of filing in the Attachments section." Also process notes: "As a condition of employment, a valid Class C driver’s license issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is required. Applicants will be disqualified and candidates will not be eligible for hire if their DMV record within the last 36 months reflects three or more moving violations and/or at-fault accidents, or a conviction of a major moving violation such as DUI or DWI in any state or jurisdiction. Notice of disqualification or ineligibility for hire may be issued by the City of Los Angeles at any time before a final job offer is extended." "For Internal Use Only: Licensing verification will occur at the time of filing." Also note about "Candidates from the eligible list are normally appointed to vacancies in the lower pay grade positions.Annual salary is at the start of the pay range. The current salary range is subject to change. Please confirm the starting salary with the hiring department before accepting a job offer." Pay: "ANNUAL SALARY $75,627 to $110,580 and $89,115 to $130,332" Also note about benefits: "Notice : If you receive and accept an offer of employment to a regular position with the City of Los Angeles, your employee benefit coverage (including health and dental coverage as well as life insurance) will commence approximately six weeks after your original regular appointment. Not all positions in the City receive benefit coverage; you should inquire regarding the availability of employee benefits prior to accepting a position. All City employees are required to be Disaster Service Workers." We should include Benefits section with that text. We should not include application instructions, selection process, etc. Now structure:

    We need to incorporate all requirement details as list items. Could be many items; we can break into logical groups. We also need to include driver license requirement as list item. We also need to include notes about accreditation, etc. We also need to include note about "Experience in Housing Law is highly desired." We also need to include note about "Candidates from the eligible list are normally appointed to vacancies in the lower pay grade positions.Annual salary is at the start of the pay range. The current salary range is subject to change. Please confirm the starting salary with the hiring department before accepting a job offer." That's more about pay; could go under Pay section. Pay section:

    Pay

    ANNUAL SALARY $75,627 to $110,580 and $89,115 to $130,332. Candidates from the eligible list are normally appointed to vacancies in the lower pay grade positions. Annual salary is at the start of the pay range. The current salary range is subject to change. Please confirm the starting salary with the hiring department before accepting a job offer.

    Benefits section:

Not all positions in the City receive benefit coverage; you should inquire regarding the availability of employee benefits prior to accepting a position. All City employees are required to be Disaster Service Workers.

    We should not include Schedule. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed those. Check for duplicated lines: we need to ensure we didn't duplicate. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft the Requirements list items: - Graduation from an accredited four-year college or university, and one year of full-time, paid professional experience investigating complaints, conducting inspections, conducting interviews, researching and referencing laws/ordinances, evaluating evidence, preparing narrative written reports on investigative findings, and compiling, evaluating, and organizing legal documents related to civil or criminal enforcement actions. - A paralegal certificate from a paralegal training program within the United States and one year of full-time, paid paralegal experience investigating complaints, evaluating evidence and preparing legal documents related to civil or criminal enforcement actions. - Four years of full-time paid experience investigating complaints, conducting inspections, conducting interviews, researching and referencing laws/ordinances, evaluating evidence, preparing narrative written reports on investigative findings, and compiling, evaluating, and organizing legal documents, one year of which must be related to civil or criminal enforcement actions. - For qualifying work experience under the first option, “professional experience” applies to positions that require a four‑year degree; qualifying experience must be gained in positions requiring a four‑year degree. - Applicants using the first option must list school name, location, type of degree
