PermitPeek
Check any home's permit history before you buy
PermitPeek pulls a property's live permit history straight from official city records and translates it into plain English: every permit, what was never closed out, a risk score with the exact reasons behind it, and a link to verify each record at the source. 1 in 3 homes hides work that was never permitted or inspected and at closing, it becomes the buyer's problem. Free search on any address in 21 US cities; $9 for a full report, free if the data turns out incomplete.
Hey Product Hunt,
I come from the construction world, where I've repeatedly watched homebuyers get hit by the same thing: an open permit or unpermitted renovation surfacing two weeks before closing. Fixing it routinely runs $10–50k, and legally, all of it transfers to the buyer.
The maddening part: it's all public data. Every major city publishes permit records but they're buried in portals written in codes like "A2" and "EW" that nobody can read.
PermitPeek queries the city's live database and translates it: every permit, what's still open, a risk score with the exact reasons, and a link to verify every record at the official source. 21 cities so far NYC, Boston, Philly, Chicago, LA, and more. If your city isn't covered, it tells you honestly instead of showing junk.
Free search shows the recent history. A full report is $9 and if the data turns out incomplete, it's free. I'd rather refund than stand behind records I can't.
Two asks: try an address in a covered city and tell me if anything surprised you and roast whatever deserves it. Pricing, coverage, copy, all of it. I'll be here all day.
