Terms of use
By using Was It Reported?, you agree to these terms and acknowledge the limits of the public-record search.
Informational service
Was It Reported? organizes selected public municipal data to help users identify records that may warrant further review. Search results are informational and may not include every report, permit, complaint, violation, correction, or agency record.
No legal conclusion
A nearby record does not by itself prove that a condition existed at the incident location, that an owner or public entity had notice, or that anyone was at fault. Distances are approximate. Categories, dates, addresses, and agency status may be inaccurate or later changed at the source.
No attorney-client relationship
The site is sponsored by ME Lawyers, APLC and is attorney advertising. Using the search, viewing results, or submitting information does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship exists only after the firm agrees in writing to represent you.
Permitted use
You may use the service for lawful, personal research. You may not interfere with the service, bypass access controls, submit false information, use automated tools that burden the service, or republish data in a misleading way.
Google Maps Platform
When the optional Google place-search or visual-context feature is enabled, Google Maps content is identified as such and is governed by Google’s applicable terms. Google place results are used only to help you select a location; Was It Reported? independently resolves the durable canonical property location and does not treat a provider listing as proof of occupancy, ownership, an event, or current conditions.

Deadlines and professional advice
Do not rely on this site to calculate or preserve a legal deadline. Claims involving public entities can have short notice periods. Seek qualified legal advice promptly if you may have a claim.
Service changes
Datasets, covered cities, features, and these terms may change as sources change. The service is provided as available, without a promise that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.
