HouseFile searches an address for permits, repairs, claims, warranties and other property records, then assembles them into a home-history timeline and Home Health Score.

Why it surfaced

This is a concrete attempt to give houses a permanent paper trail: the service matches records to an address, parses owner documents, and scores remaining life, replacement costs and red flags. It also names its coverage—168 million parcels indexed and hand-verified permit data in several major cities—while offering a free search and paid reports.
