Permit expediting & GC leads in Chicago, IL — from repair orders the city already wrote
Every week, Chicago, IL inspectors (dept. of buildings) order building repairs at specific addresses. When those orders are permit expediting & gc work — orders that demand permits, plans, or a licensed contractor of record — the owner has to hire someone to fix it. WritWork pulls each day's orders from the city's own public data service, keeps the ones in your trade, groups them by property, and links every record back to the city so you can verify it before you drive out.

Why these beat bought leads
A purchased lead is a homeowner who filled a form and got sold to five contractors. A code-enforcement order is different: the city has already inspected the property, documented the defect, and legally required the owner to fix it. There's no competition from other subscribers of a lead service — the record is public, we just make it findable, sorted, and verifiable.
WritWork also reads each property's full history, so owners who have ignored the city for years are flagged before you waste a site visit — and buildings with many simultaneous orders (one inspection often writes an entire punch list) show as a single job-sized lead.
