The East End Dig

Digging up what's being built, from Westhampton to Montauk.

Slide 1

The East End Dig is a free weekly newsletter that reads the building-permit record for New York's East End and turns it into a plain-English brief on what is actually getting built. Every Monday it covers the week's filings across Southampton and East Hampton, from Westhampton to Montauk: teardowns and demolitions, new construction, renovations and additions, pools, solar and commercial work, with street-level addresses and a Dig of the Week on the most notable project. It is built entirely on public records, and it comes with a free searchable permit lookup covering more than 2,300 properties. Published by Make No Mistakes LLC.
