Newest sealed read: 2026-08-25. This is a one-time snapshot of New York City's published board, not a feed we re-read for you. We hold 1 sealed run going back to 2016-06-23. Collection has paused. We last read this source 41 days ago, and we read it every day, so no number on this page moves until collection starts again.

Real rows out of our sealed copies
These rows show the shape of the file. They are a throwaway assembled sample, not a dump of the city's full board. Person-name columns are not in it. The city portal stays free.

Who published the data on this page
- Every permit in this file was published by New York City, not by us. Source table: DOB NOW: Build – Approved Permits.
What this page cannot tell you
- The city portal stays free. The file would be one assembled CSV, not a new source.
- 13 person-name or contact columns are in the city's table and are left out of the file: Permittee's License Type, Applicant License #, Applicant First Name, Applicant Middle Name, Applicant Last Name, Applicant Business Name, Applicant Business Address, Owner Business Name, Owner Name, Owner Street Address, Owner City, Owner State, Owner Zip Code.
- The file carries permits, not people. The assembler drops owner, applicant, contractor-name, phone and email columns even when the city publishes them.
- This is a snapshot. We do not send a new copy next month.
- This is DOB NOW Build approved permits, not electrical or elevator, and not the older DOB legacy file.
See the file we hold
You do not have to take our word for what is in the file. Here are 25 rows of the real thing, carrying all 7 of its columns, cut out of the dated copies we sealed ourselves. Nothing in it is made up and nothing in it is tidied up.
- Open the 25 rows as a CSVA plain spreadsheet file. It saves to your machine rather than painting itself into a browser tab, and it opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
- The same 25 rows as JSONThe same rows again, laid out for reading with code.
Nothing on this page is for sale. The sample file is free to read, and so is every row on the page above it.
These 25 rows are a slice of the file, not the whole of it. What we cannot show you here is how far back it goes: the file goes back further than these rows do.
Not on sale right now
Not on sale right now. Each file is currently sent by hand, so we have taken the pay button down. It comes back on sale when delivery is automatic.
