Sample lead
One lead in this division.
Each lead shows the record and what it says about the roof, the other water damage on file at the building, 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
- A complaint is what someone reported, before an inspector confirms it.
- A record does not say whether the roof needs a repair or a full replacement.
- Under Local Laws 92 and 94 of 2019, a full roof replacement can bring in the city’s solar or green roof rules; check what applies before you quote.
- 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.
How do roofing leads get sorted?
We read each record’s title and description. A record that names the roof or waterproofing goes into this division, alongside any other division it means work for.
Are permits leads too?
Yes. A new roof permit means work is about to start, which matters to suppliers and specialty trades. A later roof permit also marks an older roof lead at the building as handled.
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.
