A permit-reading service turns public building records from 51 U.S. cities into plain-English neighborhood reports.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The service geocodes an entered address and evaluates a one-mile circle, then compares that area with public GIS or open-data permit records. Its sample reports five Portland permits over the prior 12 months, while the coverage list spans 51 cities and counties. The page calls out important source differences: Tigard is active-only, Austin is only partly geocoded, and Miami-Dade represents a county file rather than the City of Miami.
