PreCheck re-checks grade only the requested fixes
A round 2 PreCheck grades only the items the applicant was told to fix: fixed, partly fixed, still open, or not in this upload. The counts are computed once, so the email, FastPass and results card agree. Re-dropping the same address offers "Re-check my fixed plans".

Resubmittal briefs keep round 1 comment numbers
On a resubmittal, the brief keeps the first round's comment numbers, marks each comment Still open or New this round, and lists cleared comments under their old numbers. The re-check card reads, for example, "3 of 4 previous comments cleared".

Email typo check, round numbers and a Re-check button
The PreCheck form now suggests a fix for near-miss email domains like gmial.com, and the Terms step fits phones with the checkbox in a sticky footer. Receipts, status pages and emails show Round 2 of 3 for this address, and results have a Re-check your revised plans button showing free rounds left.

Free PreCheck rounds count per unit, not per address
Each condo, apartment or suite at one street address now gets its own free PreCheck rounds instead of sharing them. Unit spellings like "#A", "Unit A", "Apt A" and "Suite A" are normalized to the same unit, and addresses without a unit work as before.
Buy another PreCheck round after the free ones
After an address uses its city-paid PreCheck rounds, the applicant can upload the next version and pay by card in the resubmit dialog; payment grants the credits and starts the review. Emails for that round drop the city-sponsored wording.
Used-up PreCheck addresses see the next-round option
Once an address has used its free PreCheck rounds, the results page replaces the next-version button with a notice showing the price of the next round, and the resubmit dialog explains the refusal in the same words.
Plain-language PreCheck errors and refreshed terms
Every error the PreCheck intake, retry and resubmit dialogs can return now shows written guidance instead of a raw error code, round-limit messages show the actual limit, and an applicant whose terms page went stale is prompted to read and accept the current version.
One PreCheck receipt for every submittal round
Resubmitting revised plans for round 2 or 3 now sends its own submission receipt email. Each round is tracked separately, so a retry within the same round still never sends a duplicate.

One fail per City ask on resubmittals
Resubmittal screenings now check only whether each City ask was delivered, across every current file, with one round summary. A delivered item with a defect, such as a missing signature, resolves its ask and shows as a staff note rather than a new applicant fail.

Resubmittals graded against what staff asked for
A screener resubmittal is now graded only against what City staff actually asked for, read from the permit system's communications, review comments and marked-up attachments, and against the whole current application rather than only that round's uploads.
Resubmitted filings return to Incomplete Tasks
When an applicant resubmits a filing staff returned, it now moves back to Incomplete Tasks with its Returned by chip, instead of staying in Completed Tasks where it could be missed.
