Last N days

lookbackDays

Optional

Search permits issued (or approved, see dateField) in the last N days, counted back from today in UTC. Default 7, minimum 1, maximum 3,660. Ignored when dateFrom is set. DOB publishes once a day, about a day behind, so a short window may be empty on a Monday morning.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:3660

Default:7

From date

dateFrom

Optional

Optional start date, YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2026-09-01), inclusive. When set, it replaces lookbackDays. The dataset starts in June 2016. Leave empty to use lookbackDays.

Type:string

To date

dateTo

Optional

Optional end date, YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2026-09-30), inclusive. Leave empty for no end (up to the newest permit).

Type:string

Date to filter on

dateField

Optional

Which date the date range applies to: issued (default, when DOB issued the permit) or approved (when the job filing was approved; also covers approved permits not yet issued).

Type:string

Default:issued

Options:

issuedapproved

Boroughs

boroughs

Optional

Only these boroughs: Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island. Empty (the default) = all five; the form starts with Brooklyn as an example. The source spells boroughs in two cases; both are matched.

Type:string[]

Work types

workTypes

Optional

Only permits whose job includes one of these work types, e.g. General Construction, Plumbing, Full Demolition, Sidewalk Shed, Solar, Structural, Foundation, Mechanical Systems, Sprinklers, Sign, Curb Cut (21 in all; see the list). Empty (the default) = all; the form starts with General Construction as an example. Each permit still lists every work type of its job in workTypes.

Type:string[]

Filing reasons

filingReasons

Optional

Only these filing reasons: Initial Permit (a new permit), Renewal Permit Without Changes, Renewal Permit with Changes, No Work Permit. Empty (the default) = all. Use ["Initial Permit"] to skip renewals.

Type:string[]

Permit statuses

permitStatuses

Optional

Only these statuses: Permit Issued (work may be under way) or Signed-off (work completed and signed off). Empty (the default) = both.

Type:string[]

ZIP codes

zipCodes

Optional

Only permits at these 5-digit ZIP codes, e.g. 11211. Empty (the default) = any. At most 200.

Type:array

Buildings (BIN)

bins

Optional

Only permits for these buildings, by DOB's 7-digit Building Identification Number (BIN), e.g. 3429263. Empty (the default) = any. At most 200. Find a BIN on DOB's Building Information Search or NYC's Property Information Portal.

Type:array

Job description contains

keywords

Optional

Only permits whose job description contains any of these words or phrases, not case sensitive, e.g. "new building", "hotel", "solar". Empty (the default) = any. At most 200.

Type:array

Minimum estimated job cost (USD)

minEstimatedCost

Optional

Only permits whose job's estimated cost, as filed with DOB, is at least this many US dollars, e.g. 1000000. Empty (the default) = any. Filers' estimates, not verified by DOB.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Only new or changed permits since the last run

onlyNewOrChanged

Optional

Default false. When true, return only permits DOB added or changed since this search's last successful run, each marked changeType new or changed; a re-published permit with no change is skipped and not charged. Remembered in your Apify account per filter set (and monitorName). The first run returns everything in the date range. Schedule it daily.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Monitor name (optional)

monitorName

Optional

Optional label that gives this search its own memory for onlyNewOrChanged, e.g. "brooklyn-gc-daily". Without it, runs with the same filters share one memory. Use a new name to start a monitor afresh.

Type:string

Socrata app token (optional)

appToken

Optional

Your own free Socrata app token (sign up at data.cityofnewyork.us, then Developer Settings). Without one, NYC Open Data throttles by IP address from a shared pool, which can slow very large runs; with one, requests are counted against your token. Only ever sent to NYC Open Data, in the X-App-Token request header.

Type:string

Max results per run

maxResults

Optional

Stop after this many permits in total. Default 1,000 (about $3), so a run started with no input stays small; raise it for bigger runs, e.g. 5,000 for a week of every permit in NYC or 200,000 for a year. Minimum 1. The run also stops cleanly at the maximum cost per run you set in the run options, whichever comes first. A capped only-new run never loses permits: the next run continues where it stopped.

Type:integer

Default:1000
