# Early Bird Permits

> NYC building permit intelligence for suppliers, contractors, developers, and construction sales teams. Search, alert, score, and act on DOB filings, issued permits, owners, permittees, violations, and project costs in real time.

Early Bird Permits unifies fragmented NYC Department of Buildings data — DOB NOW: Build Approved Permits, DOB Permit Issuance (BIS), DOB Safety Violations, complaints, and related datasets — into one Permit Intelligence Record. Users can search by borough, ZIP, work type, status, cost, BIN, job #, owner, and permittee; save complex filters; receive daily alerts; and use an AI Permit Copilot that translates plain English into structured queries with confirmation gates before any action.
