NYC owners with open structural violations to repair — plus the sidewalk-shed and scaffold filings that mean façade and roof work is starting. Verified owner contact, every morning.
“Used to hear about a job after three other roofers already bid it. Now I'm calling the same morning the permit hits.” — Frank, roofing contractor · Manhattan
Free to start — no credit card required.
What to say on the call
“How'd you know about this?”
It's filed publicly with DOB — I keep an eye on roof and structural filings in the boroughs I work.
“Already have a roofer”
No problem at all — keep my number in case you want a second bid before signing anything.

How it works
A permit or violation files
We watch every NYC DOB filing and HPD violation, all day.
We verify the real owner
The actual person on the deed — from HPD registration and ACRIS, not the LLC.
We activity-check the phone
Every number is scored for a live line. Dead and DNC numbers are dropped.
A callable owner lands in your inbox
Only verified owners with a number that rings — by 8am.
What you get
The owner, not a middleman
You get the real person who owns the building, pulled from the deed and city records — with a phone we've activity-checked so it isn't a dead number. Not an LLC, not a guess.
Early-warning signals
A sidewalk-shed or scaffold permit means façade and roof work is coming — you hear about the building before the job is locked in.
Work you actually want
Roof and façade permits, structural jobs, and water-damage violations across the boroughs you pick.

Questions
How fresh is the data?
We poll NYC DOB and HPD continuously, so new filings are picked up within hours. A curated, owner-verified batch lands in your inbox the next morning.
How accurate are the contacts?
Every contact is resolved against the deed and HPD registration to a real named owner, and every phone is activity-checked before delivery. If we can't return a callable phone or email, you aren't charged for it.
How do I know the phone number actually works?
Every number is scored for recent line activity using carrier data. Numbers that look disconnected or dormant — under 70 out of 100 — are dropped, and DNC-listed numbers are filtered out before delivery. So you're not dialing dead lines or risking a TCPA complaint — the numbers that reach you are the ones most likely to ring.
Aren't permits pulled by the contractor who already won the job?
Often, yes — a filed permit can mean the work is already awarded. That's why we lead with violations: an owner with an open heat, hot-water, or façade violation is under pressure to fix it and usually has no vendor attached yet. Permits we treat as early-warning and adjacency signals — a sidewalk shed goes up, so façade and roof work is coming — not a race to a job that's already been bid.
Is it okay to call an owner from a public record?
Yes. NYC permits and HPD violations are public records, and these are business-to-business calls about work on the owner's own building. We also scrub DNC-listed numbers before delivery, so you're never dialing someone who has opted out.
What if I don't have anyone to make the calls?
Every contact comes with a short, trade-specific call script — the opener and the answers to the usual pushback — so one person (even the owner) can work the morning list in a few minutes. You're not standing up a call center; you're making a handful of warm, verified calls a day.
How is this different from PropertyShark or PropStream?
Those are databases — you log in and look someone up. Scaffold is push-based: we watch NYC filings for you, resolve the verified owner, and send a short morning list of exactly who to call today. You're paying for the timing and the curation, not for search access.
Will my contacts be resold to competitors?
No. Your watch is yours. We don't sell the contacts you receive to other subscribers in your trade.
What if a contact doesn't resolve?
Resolved-only billing: a credit is spent only when we deliver a verified contact. Misses are free.
Do you cover my city?
Today Scaffold is live across all five NYC boroughs. More metros are on the roadmap — sign up and we'll tell you when yours is live.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Plans are month-to-month and you can cancel or change tiers whenever you like.
