Filed Nearby Makes Building Permits Readable — Address First, Across 51 U.S. Cities

Filed Nearby today announced the public availability of www.filednearby.com, a product that turns public building-permit files into a simple address lookup and emailed report for people who need to know what's being filed near a property.

Most permit data is buried in city GIS portals and open-data dumps that assume you already know which system to open. Filed Nearby flips that: type a street address first. The pin chooses the city. If the address sits in a covered place, users get a 1-mile teaser and can buy a neighborhood report or a whole-city file — no dashboard training required.

What's covered

• 51 U.S. cities and counties with live, queryable public permit feeds
• Address-first geocoding with a 1-mile circle (not a street-name guess)
• Filters for occupancy, work class, and valuation when the city publishes those fields
• Plain-English email digests; searchable hosted pages after purchase

Pricing

• 1-mile neighborhood report: $12 one-time or $9/month (last 12 months)
• City file: $19 one-time or $19/month (last 7 days for large cities / NYC boroughs; last 30 days for smaller cities)

Filed Nearby is built for homeowners checking a block, realtors preparing for a listing conversation, and small trades scanning for nearby work — using public records only. Contractor phones and personal contact details are not collected.

“People shouldn't need a GIS degree to answer a simple question: what's being built near this address?” the Filed Nearby team said. “Drop the pin. Read the file. Get the email.”
