How it works
STEP 1
New York publishes
The Department of Buildings approves permits across the five boroughs — address, type of work, reported project cost, and the owner and applicant contacts on file. It's public data, buried in a city database nobody has time to dig through.
STEP 2
We filter to your trade
Pick up to three trades and your ZIP codes. Every new permit that matches becomes your lead — plus the follow-on work each project creates: a new build needs plumbing, electrical, HVAC and roofing; an interior job needs painting, flooring and drywall.
STEP 3
You call first
Your leads land in your inbox every morning, matched to your trades and ZIPs. One extra job pays for years of the service: a single kitchen remodel runs $30–60K, a full gut renovation far more.
Lead marketplaces charge $30–$100 per lead and sell the same lead to several competitors. Here it's one flat price for every permit in your trades and ZIP codes — and the timing is the edge: you see the job the day the permit is issued, not weeks later.

Straight answers
Where does this data come from?
NYC Open Data — the official public record of permits approved by the New York City Department of Buildings (the DOB NOW: Build – Approved Permits dataset). Every lead on this board is a real permit with its job filing number shown, so you can verify any of them on the city's own site.
What contact info does a lead include?
Whatever the permit itself lists: the property owner and the applicant — the business names and the people on file, exactly as published by the city. The public record doesn't include phone numbers or emails, and we won't pretend otherwise. That's why each lead in your morning email carries a Find business contact button: it opens a Google AI Mode search for the business, which surfaces its public phone, email and address when it has a web presence.
How does the $1 / 30 days / $99 billing work?
You register and pay a one-time $1 activation at secure checkout, which validates your card. You get 30 days of full access. On day 31, $99 is charged and then monthly — no action needed from you. Cancel any time before day 31 and nothing more is ever charged.
Is a lead a sure job?
No — a lead is timing. A permit means someone is about to spend real money on construction, and the contractor who calls first usually quotes first. Realistically, one in every 10–20 contacts turns into work; at New York project values, one job pays for the service many times over.
Do new permits arrive every day?
Almost. The city issues permits Monday through Friday, so new leads land every weekday morning. On weekends almost nothing is issued, and on city holidays the count drops sharply — your digest simply reflects what the Department of Buildings actually published that day.
