Dark bars count dated records in the last 30 days; grey bars, standing lists. A "+" means the count reached the pull limit, so there are at least that many. Counts are of records matching Deal Radar's filters (open, residential, recent), not every record in the dataset.

What each signal means

Permits

Work is being done: repairs, a remodel or a teardown, sometimes before a sale. A weak signal on its own.

Usually from: Building permits (pre-sale repairs). Weight in Deal Radar's score: 4, halving every 120 days.

Code violations

The city cited the property for its condition. Landlords tired of repairs and owners who can't afford them both show up here.

Usually from: City code enforcement. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 14, halving every 180 days.

Unsafe buildings

A building department order: the property can't be lived in as is.

Usually from: Building department orders. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 22, halving every 365 days.

The public feeds (4)

  • Raleigh residential alteration, repair and addition permitsRaleigh, NC

    Residential building permits for alterations, repairs and additions (about 150 a month), updated daily. Includes foundation and crawlspace repairs, re-siding and renovations; new homes, decks and pools are left out. Rows without an issue date (still in review) are skipped. The parcel owner and mailing address come with each permit. Pre-sale repairs are a weak signal on their own; best stacked with others.

  • Durham open minimum housing code casesDurham, NC

    Open housing code cases from Neighborhood Improvement Services where the repairs needed are under half the home's value (about 670 open; most were opened in 2026), on homes and apartment buildings. No owner names.

  • Durham unsafe and repair-or-demolish housing casesDurham, NC

    Open cases where the city has found a home unsafe or needing repairs worth more than half its value, so the owner must repair or demolish (about 85). Some cases are several years old. No owner names.

  • Durham active residential repair and renovation permitsDurham County, NC

    Active (issued, not yet finaled) City-County building permits for repairs, renovations, additions, re-roofs and demolitions on homes (single-family minor permit review, SMPR), about 3,000 open; updated daily. Covers the city and unincorporated county; the city is set to Durham. Foundation and crawlspace repairs are common. No owner names.

What isn't here

  • Owner names, mailing addresses and phone numbers. Public pages show counts only; phones never come from these feeds.
  • Probate and divorce filings. They sit with the courts and several states restrict them; inside Parcel they come in by upload.
  • Records a city or county doesn't publish as open data. If yours has a feed we've missed, tell us and we'll check it.

Questions

From 4 public open-data portals run by the cities, counties or state, queried directly with the same filters Deal Radar uses (open, residential, recent records). Each feed's source is linked on this page.

They are pulled again every day. The portals themselves update on their own schedules, from daily to quarterly, noted for each feed.

Not on this public page. Inside Parcel, Deal Radar shows each property with its signals and score for the farm areas you choose.

No. Live feeds run in 124 markets, and anywhere else you can upload lists and get the same scoring, alerts and outreach.
