California Builder Services Launches New Website California Builder Services has launched DREPublicReports.com, providing public access to nearly 600,000 Department of Real Estate subdivision, development, and completed development public reports in California, archived over the past few decades. “We saw a need for this service in our industry as the current state site with this information can be difficult to navigate and cumbersome,” said Scott Ford, President of California Builder Services. “By creating a free resource we manage, we know the site will continue to stay maintained and serve everyone who needs access to this information. Our business lives and breathes DRE reports and HOA assessments, so it was only fitting to launch this site.” The site offers multiple search options, such as file number, report number, tract number, county name, issued date, and subdivision name, for users to obtain reports. Users are also able to print these reports or download/export them as an Excel or CSV file. Through a California Public Records Act (CPRA) request, California Builder Services accessed public records needed for its development team to compile, creating DREPublicReports.com. California Builder Services will be updating and monitoring its database while archiving and maintaining current records. “It’s crucial for those of us managing HOAs in California to keep an eye on public reports for our communities,” said Pamela Ciapessoni, Executive Vice President and Co-owner of Riverside Management. “The records on DREPublicReports.com help us ensure the public reports that show the HOA dues for phasing schedules are properly filed with California—it’s required in our state.”
