Building Permit Leads — SF, Chicago, Seattle & NYC
Permit data straight from the four cities' official open-data APIs. No API key, no login, no scraping fragile HTML — just a clean JSON row per permit.

Use case: a weekly renovation-lead list for one remodeling contractor
A San Francisco remodeling contractor wants every renovation permit filed last week, in a spreadsheet, every Monday morning.
- Run with
{"city": "san-francisco", "permitType": "renovation", "maxPermits": 500} - Schedule it weekly in Apify Console.
- Export the dataset to CSV/Excel or push it into a CRM via webhook.
Each row carries address, applicant, estimatedCost and filedDate — enough
to sort by project value and call the top 20 the same morning.
What you get (one row per permit)
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
permitNumber | Official permit / application identifier |
address | Street address as published by the city |
description | Work description or permit type text |
status | Current status as published by the city |
applicant | Applicant or contractor name, where the city publishes it |
estimatedCost | Declared project value, where published |
filedDate / issuedDate | Filing and issue dates |
permitType | Permit / work type |
city, scrapedAt | Source city and run timestamp |
Fields are passed through from the city dataset. Coverage varies by city — not every municipality publishes applicant or cost.
