Terms of use
Last updated November 13, 2026
These are short terms for the free beta of NYC Permit Leads. By creating an account you agree to them. They will be reviewed before paid plans start.
The service
- NYC Permit Leads shows approved building permits from NYC Open Data, updated daily, with search, saved searches, alerts, lead notes and CSV export.
- It is free during the beta. We plan to charge for it later and will tell beta users at least 30 days before. You can delete your account at any time.
- We may change, pause or end the beta. We will try to give notice.
The data
- The data comes from NYC Open Data and has been processed by NYC Permit Leads. NYC Permit Leads is not an official service of the City of New York or the NYC Department of Buildings.
- We do not guarantee that the data is accurate, complete or up to date. New permits usually appear a few days after they are issued. Check important details with the City before you rely on them.
Contacting owners and contractors
If you contact anyone you find through NYC Permit Leads, you are responsible for following the law, including the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), Do Not Call rules and any state laws. NYC Permit Leads does not contact anyone for you.
Your account
- Keep your password safe. One account is for one person.
- Do not misuse the service: no automated scraping of the app or this website, no attempts to access other people's data, and no use that breaks the law.
- We may suspend accounts that break these terms.
Liability
The service is provided "as is", without warranties. To the extent the law allows, NYC Permit Leads is not liable for lost business, lost profits or other indirect losses from using the service or the data.
