How do contractors find building permits in San Francisco?

San Francisco publishes every building permit through the Department of Building Inspection open-data portal (data.sfgov.org). PermitRadar pulls that live feed daily and filters it by trade, so you see new project addresses โ€” with scope and value โ€” the day they're filed, instead of searching the DBI portal by hand.
