A friend of DCist and admirer of EveryBlock passes along the news that EveryBlock has added building permits to its D.C. news stream. If you aren’t familiar with EveryBlock, it’s a service that enables you to never leave the house again for information. No need to walk outside and look at trees when EveryBlock will stream any Flickr images taken in a so-many block radius from your location (defined as you like it) to your location. EveryBlock delivers crime reports from a given radius to you free of the invective of your neighborhood listserv! Now you may bone up on neighborhood additions, demolitions, licenses and other permit issues without having to squint at the permits themselves — all through your RSS reader.
