The data that answers it

Ranked by fit · best first
Shovels Primary fit
Shovels API v2

Shovels searches address-level permit histories and returns permit type, status, and canonical tags including roofing; last_date_by_tag supplies the latest roofing permit start date. It identifies roof-permit recency but does not document permit completion date, source index-through date, or query timestamp, and a tag rollup is not a complete permit chronology by itself.

Chicago Building Permits

Chicago's daily public permits API provides address/permit records issued from 2006 onward with permit type and current status, allowing roof-related records to be selected when the record text/type identifies roofing. The cited metadata does not establish a dedicated roof-work classification or document issue, completion, index-through, and query dates on every matched record, so those pins must be retained as gaps.

New York City Department of Buildings Strong fit
DOB Permit Issuance

NYC's daily BIS permit API identifies buildings by BIN and returns job/work type, permit type/subtype, status, and permit-lifecycle date fields, allowing roofing work to be selected where the work classification identifies it. The cited metadata does not guarantee an explicit completion date for every permit or provide a per-query search timestamp, and publication run date rather than record retrieval must pin dataset currency.
