Current Intelligence Market

Fire & life-safety intelligence.

We read official fire, permit and inspection records every day and identify the commercial buildings entering a potential buying window, with the source record behind every signal.

What we monitor for this market

Fire and life-safety demand rarely announces itself in one record. It shows up as several unrelated events landing on the same building in the same season.

Regulatory activity

Fire inspections, violations, enforcement actions and corrective orders. The clearest statement that a building has an unmet obligation.

System permits

Alarm, sprinkler and suppression permits, plus elevator and electrical work that forces detection changes.

Occupancy and business activity

New business licenses, liquor licenses and tenant activity that change how a space is used and what it must comply with.

Property and ownership events

Ownership and management changes, which frequently reset vendor relationships.

Construction and demolition

Building and trades permits, demolition filings and project activity indicating capital work.

A building with one record needs a repair. A building with four independent signals needs a program. That distinction is what the scoring exists to find.

What the records currently show

Published openly so any contractor can check our arithmetic against the city's own portal. Current as of August 31, 2026.

There is no software to log into and nothing for your team to learn. It is a working list, delivered by email, that your salespeople can act on the way they already work.

Pricing and common questions

We evaluate. We do not forward records.

Anyone can download a violation file. The work is deciding whether an event is relevant, timely, commercially meaningful and still actionable, and then discarding everything that is not. Most of what the cities publish never reaches a customer.
