Already taken
We list only buildings without visible repair work in public DOB data and re-check them every week. But work without a permit and contracts that are not filed yet cannot be seen in public data. When you learn that a case is taken, tell us with one click.
How it works
- Open the case sheet and click Already taken. Optionally add a short reason (for example "contractor on site", "engineer says bid is closed").
- The case disappears from your list (you can show hidden cases again with the filter).
- We re-check the case. If two or more subscribers report the same case without a public filing, it is marked "reported taken" for everyone; the next weekly run settles it.
- If a permit appears, the case leaves the list for all subscribers, and the weekly e-mail names the reason.
What we do with your report
Other subscribers never learn who reported a case. Reports help us measure how good the list is: the share of reported cases is one of the numbers we watch. A report is not a complaint and does not entitle you to a refund for a single case (terms, section 3).
