Heads up — limited source for this city Boston's public open-data feed reports the licensed individual filing each permit rather than the business they work for — names like "Iliya Iliev" rather than "Iliev Roofing LLC". Permits + addresses + project values continue to refresh, but we can't surface contractor business names + phone numbers from this jurisdiction's public records the way other cities expose them. We're working on a state-licensing-DB join to recover the business affiliation.

About Boston Building Permits

Boston, Massachusetts processes building permits covering residential construction, commercial buildouts, renovations, and specialty trade work. PermitGrab tracks 11,051+ Boston building permits — newest permit date: 2026-11-03 from official city sources.

Building permits in Boston can document new construction, renovations, and specialty work. The fields in a public record vary by filing, but may include a project address, scope, estimated cost, or contractor name. Use the displayed source information to evaluate whether a record is useful for your market research.

How Contractors Use Boston Permit Data

HVAC contractors, electricians, plumbers, and roofers can use Boston building-permit records to research visible construction activity. A permit may signal a project that is relevant to a particular trade, but the source record does not establish that its owner is seeking a bid.

Use the published date, project details, and any named business contact to research a project before outreach. Public records are not exclusive, and outreach results depend on the market, project, and your own process.

Eligible subscribers can receive trade-filtered alerts when new records are collected. Alert timing and field coverage follow the underlying source rather than a universal schedule.
