Find just-permitted multifamily projects in your territory.

Frequently asked about multifamily permits.

What multifamily permits does PermitCore cover?

Multifamily R-2 work classifies across two segments today. Multifamily Alteration covers changes to existing apartment and condo buildings — unit-level reconfigurations, common-area overhauls, structural retrofits, roof replacements, and substantial systems work; it is the highest-volume multifamily segment in most metros because turnover and aging-stock maintenance dominate filings against existing buildings. Multifamily New Construction covers ground-up apartment buildings, condominium developments, and other 5-unit-and-up structures filtered for R-2 occupancy under the IBC. Single-family and small-multifamily (under 5 units) roll up to residential segments upstream and are not counted here.

How much multifamily permit volume is in the index today?

Across 34 US metros, Multifamily Alteration carries 2.9M classified permits and Multifamily New Construction carries 151K. These are all-time classified counts summed across every indexed metro — the per-segment depth that lets territory and pipeline teams work the existing-stock retrofit cycle and the ground-up development pipeline as distinct motions. Each segment × metro landing page also surfaces its own current count.

Which metros have the deepest multifamily coverage today?

Per-segment depth varies by metro. New York City leads Multifamily Alteration (2.4M permits in metro), and Phoenix leads Multifamily New Construction (12K). Each metro count is its own classified volume — never the cross-metro total — and every segment × metro landing page also surfaces its current count.

Can PermitCore tell me which appliance or product brand was installed?

Not today. The page surfaces the real per-permit signal we hold — address, scope, contractor, status, geocode, provenance, DQ flags, segment, and (for NYC) PLUTO geometry. It does not parse or assert appliance, fixture, or building-product manufacturer from the permit record. Use the segment × metro + contractor signal to find just-permitted multifamily projects in your territory; product-brand attribution is not a shipped feature.

How fresh is the data?

Two signals, displayed side-by-side on every segment × metro page. Source-data freshness — a “Latest permit” date with a days-since count — is the issued date of the most recent permit we hold for that metro and segment; it tells you whether new multifamily permits are landing for the slice you care about. Index rebuilt — a separate “index rebuilt” date — is when our pipeline last recomputed the artifacts that back the page; it tells you when we last looked. We display both because a quiet segment (no recent issued permits) does not mean a stale index. Older history is queryable via the API once you sign up.

Can I integrate this into my CRM?

Yes. Every permit returns as JSON via /v1/permits — address, scope, contractor, status, geocode, provenance, DQ flags, segment, and (for NYC) PLUTO geometry are all queryable per row. Pro tier ($89/mo) includes 100K API calls/month and unlimited exports. Self-serve checkout; no sales call required.
