Three signals, one inbox
Most platforms still silo these. PlatHawk blends them.
Permits, code violations, and zoning hearings are three different filings on three different dockets — but they tell one story about the work about to start near you. The brief stitches them together so the 60–90-day pre-permit window isn’t a gap in your pipeline.
Permits
The jobs officially opened overnight.
Every residential, commercial, and trade permit filed with your local clerks — indexed by trade, valuation, and parcel, so you only see the rows that fit the work you actually do.
Code violations
Properties heading toward a permit.
Open enforcement cases — substandard structures, unregistered rentals, unpermitted work — the pre-permit signal that the big platforms bury and most contractors never see.
Zoning hearings
Deals the docket does not show yet.
Variances, special-use permits, and rezoning filings — the 60–90 day pre-permit window when an infill opportunity is still off-market and still negotiable.
