Permit lookup questions

Inspection records by address: what should I search first?

Search the exact property address first. If the official portal does not match it cleanly, try parcel number, permit number, owner, contractor, or inspection record fields when the city exposes them.

Does Build Permit Radar show unofficial permit claims?

No. The site either displays official public records returned by a connected source or labels the result as an official-source route that still needs portal verification.

What permit records matter before buying or renovating?

Screen for open permits, expired permits, failed inspections, complaints, violations, trade permits, certificate records, and recent remodel or addition activity.
