    Each week arrives as a review queue, not a raw data dump.

Public property records are scattered, noisy, and easy to miss.

When a building pulls a permit, draws a violation, or changes hands, that change is public record, and for insurance, legal, and property teams it is often the earliest signal that a file needs attention. But the records live across dozens of official sources, in formats built for clerks rather than for people working a territory.

Enterprise data products solve this for large firms at enterprise prices. Independent operators and small teams have mostly been left to check sources by hand, or to miss the changes entirely.

A review desk that ranks the week and cites its sources.

PermitBeam watches 21 official government data feeds daily and holds more than 1.4 million records, with property history reaching back to the 1960s. Each week's changes arrive as a ranked review queue: permits, complaints, violations, stop-work orders, and enforcement actions in the territory you care about.

Opening a record shows the whole property behind it: the connected records, the official filing each one came from, and, where city registration data supports it, the owner's other registered buildings. Saved records become a source-cited report you can copy, print, or export as CSV, ready to file with a matter, an account review, or a property file.

Built for people who answer for a territory.

Insurance and claims professionals use the desk to spot risk changes on properties they cover. Legal and title teams use the record trail and its citations. Property and portfolio teams watch the buildings they own, manage, or lend against.

Every item in a PermitBeam report links to the official source record, and the desk is equally explicit about what the public record does not establish. That restraint is what makes the reports safe to file.

What shipped

  • Daily ingestion from 21 official government data feeds

  • Ranked weekly review queue for each territory

  • Records connected by property ID, address, and registered owner

  • Full recorded property history reaching back to the 1960s

  • Source-cited reports with copy, print, and CSV export

  • Approved-account access with pilot territory briefs

The right product is often a packaged workflow, not a giant platform.

PermitBeam is narrow on purpose: one ranked queue, one record view, one report, each shaped around how territory work actually happens. If your business runs on knowing about changes early, this is what that looks like as software.
