What's being built on your block?

Filed Nearby reads public permit files and emails you a plain-English report for a street address. Type first — the pin chooses the city. Or start with the block heat estimator — a permit-density score for the last 12 months. Homeowners, realtors, and small trades — no dashboard to learn.

Address first — no city picker. If the pin is in a city we have a permit file for, you get a 1-mile teaser (last 12 months) and that city's file at checkout. If it is not, we say so. Filters use occupancy, work class, and valuation only when that city publishes the field.

01

Drop an address

We geocode it, then measure a 1-mile circle — not a street-name guess. If the pin is in a covered city, you can also buy that city file (last 7 days in large cities; one NYC borough, not five).

02

Read the city file

Building permits from each city's public GIS or open-data file: what was filed, where, when, and type. Valuation when the city listed one. Tigard is active-only; Austin is only partly geocoded; Miami-Dade is the county file, not City of Miami.

03

Get the email

The lookup on this page is a teaser: a count and the latest work. A 1-mile report is $12, or $9 a month (last 12 months). City files are $19, or $19 a month — last 7 days for NYC boroughs, LA, Chicago, Austin, and Fort Worth; last 30 days for smaller cities. Print the emailed page if you want a PDF.

City file · last 7 or 30 days

Large cities (LA, Chicago, Austin, Fort Worth) are last 7 days citywide. New York City is one named borough for the last 7 days — not a five-borough dump. Smaller cities stay last 30 days citywide. Tigard is active permits only; Salem and Philadelphia list no valuations; Austin does not map every row; Miami-Dade is the county. The email is a digest; the hosted page is searchable.
