Cities covered

City	Source	Cost filter	Owner name	Contractor name
New York City	DOB NOW: Build – Approved Permits	✅	✅	✅
San Francisco	DBI Building Permits	✅	❌	❌
Chicago	Building Permits	✅	❌	✅ (contact 1)
Austin	Issued Construction Permits	❌ (not published)	❌	❌
Seattle	Built Environment Permits	✅	❌	❌

All sources are official open-data (Socrata) APIs — no login, no CAPTCHA, no proxies. Data is refreshed by the cities themselves, so maintenance is minimal.

Input

Field	Type	Description
`cities`	array	Which cities to pull (default: all five).
`since`	string	Only permits issued on/after `YYYY-MM-DD`.
`minCost`	integer	Minimum estimated job cost (USD).
`keyword`	string	Case-insensitive substring on the work description (e.g. `roof`, `solar`, `pool`).
`zipFilter`	array	Restrict to specific 5-digit ZIPs.
`maxResultsPerCity`	integer	Cap per city (default 1000).

Output — normalized lead schema

city, permit_id, permit_type, work_description, status,
issue_date, applied_date, estimated_cost,
address, zip, latitude, longitude,
owner_name, contractor_name, contractor_phone, source_url

Known limitations (read before buying)

Field coverage varies by city (see table). Not every city publishes cost, owner, or contractor. Fields are null where the source doesn't provide them — never fabricated.
Austin has no job cost in its public dataset. If you set minCost, Austin leads are excluded (can't verify the threshold).
contractor_phone is not available in the current public datasets for any city; the field exists for schema stability and forward compatibility.
Date semantics = permit issued date. "Applied" date is included where available.
These are public records. The product's value is unification, filtering, freshness, and delivery — not exclusive data.

Pricing

Pay-per-event: one permit-lead event per delivered lead. Configure the price in the Apify Console → Publication → Monetization.

Local development

Pure-stdlib fetch engine (src/engine.py, src/cities.py) is import-safe and testable without the SDK via test_local.py.

Roadmap

Fix contractor_phone sourcing where a secondary dataset exposes it.
Add cities weekly (LA needs an app token; Boston, Seattle county, Denver, Portland are candidates) — each new city widens the lead over single-city competitors.
