Six cities, sold one street address at a timecounted 2026-09-01

You send one street address in Austin, Cincinnati, Montgomery County (Maryland), New York City, San Francisco, or Cambridge, Massachusetts. You get a dated packet that lists every building permit we already hold for that street: the date it was issued, the type, the city's work class, the status, the name of the city portal it came from, and the city's own sentence that lets us sell the row. No owner names. No contractor names. Not a city-wide dump. Not a list of people to call.

What you get in the packet

One street, the permits we already holdcity, address, permit_date, permit_type, work_class, status, source_portal. Work class is the city's own field, not our internal intent label.
The city's written terms in the fileAustin packets credit the City of Austin. Montgomery County packets include the County disclaimer. Every city's resale wording ships in the sample header and on this page.

What this cannot tell you

It is not a city-wide dump. It covers one street. The city portals stay free.

It is not a list of people to call. No owner names. No contractor names. Never a person's name or contact.

Cambridge is thin (58 rows). It is in the store. We do not lead with it.

The sample is the live table, not the sealed archive. A rival can pull the same city portals today. The sealed copies we hold were not used to build these 21 rows.

Title software is UNKNOWN. Three public pages were fetched. Permit history shown free: 0 of 3. UNKNOWN inside the logged-in tools. We did not log in.

Want is unverified. Nobody has asked for this yet.

San Francisco has no work-class field on the row. The sample records work class as none on this portal's row.
