Sample lead

One lead in this division.

Each lead shows the filing or permit, the scope and the estimated cost where the record has them, the building’s recent sale, the contacts on file, and an opening line for the call.

“Unworked” is a record-matching signal, not confirmation that the owner is seeking bids or has not hired a contractor. How it is worked out.

What the records can and cannot tell you

  • An estimated cost is what the applicant wrote on the filing; the real budget can differ.
  • A filing with an architect or an expeditor on it may already have a contractor lined up.
  • A sale does not say what the new owner plans; it is a reason to introduce yourself.
  • Every lead is a prospecting opportunity from a public record, not a request from the owner. Check the city’s record by its number before you quote.

Questions

General contracting questions.

Anything else? Email [email protected].

Why are job filings useful?

A filing lands before the permit, so you can see the project, the scope and the estimated cost while the owner is still choosing a team.

Why are property sales included?

A new owner often plans a renovation. A sale is labelled as a sale, so you can include or leave out sales in your search.

Which contact details do I get?

The owner of record with a confidence rating, the registered managing agent where there is one, a mailing address, and a phone number where the city’s records carry one. Some buildings have none on file; the lead says so.

Does a lead mean the owner wants bids?

No. Each lead is a public city record that points to work, not a request for quotes. The owner may already have a contractor; check the city’s record by its number before you quote.

How much does it cost?

The first seat, one division in one borough, is $149 a month, plus applicable tax, after a 14-day trial. Each additional seat is $99 a month and adds one more division-and-borough pair. See pricing.
