Search building permits for any NYC property. See counts and most recent filings — free, no account required.
DOB issues permits through BIS (legacy) and DOB NOW (electronic). We aggregate both systems for complete permit data.
Searching an address opens the full property profile on its compliance record, which aggregates DOB BIS (the legacy filing system) and DOB NOW (electronic filings since 2016): total permits on record, active applications, and the filing history for the address — free, no account needed. Checking both systems matters — a 2015 renovation lives only in BIS, while last month’s job appears only in DOB NOW.
The profile carries the complete permit history with job types, filing and issuance dates, contractor names, and inspection records — useful for verifying that finished work was actually permitted and signed off.
