Google it. Google the address to see what turns up. Remember to check the news tab, too. Check for any permit violations. Many local governments’ building departments offer an online database of building permits filed for renovations or changes to buildings. It’ll show which permits have been approved or issued. The building department also tracks violations against any properties. Sites like AddressReport may also be able to turn up such information. Plug in the address and the site reveals construction projects and any violations that have been issued against the property or complaints reported. Monitor hyperlocal sites. Neighbors can be a wealth of information, and many are talking online. Sites like NextDoor is a free forum for neighborhoods to talk about local events, real estate, crime, and more. Neighborhood groups are also increasingly popping up on Facebook. NeighborhoodScout provides a full report of the local real estate, demographics, school, crime, and home value trends of the area.
