We publish counts by ZIP code and by contractor, not a list of permits by street address. The full record for one property, with every permit, its status and its inspections, is kept by the office that issued the permits; our source here is City of Wheaton permits on homes (the city's permit application and inspection exports). Ask that permit office for a property's permit history, or search its public records by address.
For a contractor you are about to hire, open their page from the lists above to see every permit they pulled across Wheaton. Wheaton permit statistics → · How the records work in Wheaton →
Source: City of Wheaton permits on homes (the city's permit application and inspection exports). The window is October 2023 through September 2026. Each permit is placed by its property's ZIP code (the address on the permit, or the parcel's when the permit has none).
Counted: permits on homes for the 12 kinds of work we track (heating & cooling, roofing, windows & doors, fence, driveway, walk & stoop, electrical, remodel (kitchen, bath, basement), sewer & water service, plumbing & water heater, patio, deck, porch & pergola, foundation & waterproofing) where the record names a contractor. Not counted: commercial work, trades we don't read, and permits with no contractor (owner-pulled work). So this is not the city's count of every permit in 60189.
A ZIP code does not follow city or county lines; these count only permits in the City of Wheaton. Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits.
