What the Cambridge Permit Record Shows
Every permit on file
Building, renovation, and trade permits associated with the address, with work type, description, and dates, sourced from City of Cambridge Open Data.
Permit status classification
Each permit is classified as Closed, Open, Expired, or Unknown, so you can spot work that was authorized but never received a final inspection.
The rest of the record
Permits are one section of the full report, which also covers zoning, environmental and flood context where published, fire protection proximity, and assessment data for the address.
Why Buyers Check Permits Before an Offer
A permit that was issued but never closed with a final inspection stays attached to the property and transfers to the buyer at closing. That can mean uninspected work, insurance complications, and friction at resale.
