Every permit. Every contractor. Every building.

WhoPulledPermit NYC serves anyone who needs construction intelligence in New York City. Material suppliers (lumber, concrete, steel, drywall, roofing, windows, doors, flooring), equipment rental companies, general contractors, and specialty subcontractors (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire protection, elevator, demolition, excavation, masonry, painting, carpentry). Also architects, engineers, lenders, banks, insurance underwriters, real estate developers, property managers, title companies, law firms specializing in construction or real estate, and investors evaluating properties or contractor relationships.

We provide three layers of intelligence. Contractor intelligence: complete permit history, violation records, outstanding penalties, license status, and a calculated risk score for every contractor in NYC, plus direct phone numbers. Property intelligence: full building profiles including every permit ever filed, all violations, 311 complaints, ownership history, and recent sales data. Market intelligence: real time alerts when new permits are filed, plus pre permit signals like DOB filings, zoning applications, and large land sales that indicate construction activity months before permits are issued.

The platform gives you visibility into construction activity across NYC that would take weeks to research manually. Suppliers can identify active contractors and projects in their territory. Contractors can vet subcontractors before hiring and find new project opportunities. Lenders and insurers can run due diligence on contractors and properties in minutes instead of days. Developers can track competitive activity and identify acquisition targets. Property managers can monitor building compliance. The common thread is better decisions based on complete information.

New permits appear in the system within 5 minutes of being filed with the NYC Department of Buildings. Violation records, ownership changes, and complaint data are updated daily from their respective city agencies. Historical data goes back over 10 years, giving you the full picture on any contractor or property. This combination of real time updates and deep history is what makes the intelligence actionable.

We aggregate data from 28 official NYC government sources including the Department of Buildings (DOB and DOB NOW), Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), ACRIS property records, PLUTO land use data, 311 complaints, Department of Transportation (DOT), Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Environmental Control Board (ECB), OATH, Landmarks Preservation Commission, Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA), and Zoning Application Portal (ZAP). Every record traces directly to an official government database.
