Trust Hub Network

Pennsylvania Trust Hub Research

The Trust Hub Network

One statewide entry point across contractors, movers, senior care, lending, insurance, and investment-adviser research. AskTrustHub is the discovery and routing layer. Specialist hubs own the Pennsylvania evidence. No paid placements. No Trust Score. No blanket “verified providers” statement.

Organizations and evidence records stay separate. Missing, restricted, and search-only sources are unknown, not zero. Pennsylvania research is statewide. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and other local names stay on this statewide entrance; local Pennsylvania datasets are not started.

Pennsylvania’s strongest Trust Hub evidence is HICPA search-only home-improvement registration plus separate asbestos/lead and public-work debarment layers, a PA PUC intrastate Household Goods universe that is not FMCSA, DOH facility licensing with 1,202 exact state→CMS bridges while PCH/ALR remain search-only, 2025 HMDA county-market activity that is not an NMLS census, PID licensed-company NAIC identities with complaint/enforcement/exam/insolvency catalogs while agency/producer bulk remains search-only, and IAPD state-IA/ERA/notice/principal-office lenses that cannot collapse into one adviser total. Organizations and evidence records stay separate. Missing, restricted, and search-only sources are unknown — not zero.

All six specialist Pennsylvania research pages are published. Ask /pennsylvania is a catalog and research entrance, not a seventh copy of every specialist dataset.

Specialist Pennsylvania research

  • Contractors

    Does Pennsylvania have a universal statewide general-contractor license?

    • HICPA home-improvement registration (search-only)
    • DLI asbestos contractor CERT IDs
    • DLI lead contractor CERT IDs
    • Prevailing-wage debarment listings

    283 asbestos + 148 lead contractor certification IDs. HICPA statewide census is search-only.

    HICPA counts are null, not zero. Exact HICPA↔specialty crosswalks: 0. Municipal licensing is not state licensing.

    Open Contractors PennsylvaniaAsk about Contractors in Pennsylvania

  • Moving

    How many distinct PA PUC Utility Codes are on the active Household Goods list — and is that FMCSA authority?

    • PA PUC active HHG Utility Codes
    • Cargo and liability insurance observations
    • Bounded PUC dockets
    • FMCSA interstate identity research

    267 distinct PA PUC Utility Codes. PUC ≠ FMCSA.

    Broker roster, service territory, complaints, and enforcement census remain OPEN_SEARCH_ONLY. Exact PUC→USDOT and PUC→MC crosswalks: 0.

    Open Moving PennsylvaniaAsk about Moving in Pennsylvania

  • Senior Care

    What Pennsylvania senior-care classes exist — and can they be added into one facilities total?

    • DOH nursing homes and exact CCNs
    • Home Health vs Home Care vs Hospice
    • PCH monthly aggregate vs current roster
    • LIFE/PACE providers and centers

    1,202 exact PA state→CMS bridges. Classes are separate.

    PCH and ALR current rosters OPEN_SEARCH_ONLY. 659 nursing homes matching 659 Home Health rows is coincidence, not identity.

    Open Senior Care PennsylvaniaAsk about Senior Care in Pennsylvania

  • Mortgage Lenders

    How many HMDA 2025 applications were reported for Pennsylvania properties — and is that a lender census?

    • HMDA 2025 county-market applications/originations/denials
    • Current NMLS company, broker, servicer, and MLO search paths
    • CFPB mortgage complaints
    • PHFA participation

    444,887 HMDA 2025 applications. Applications are not lenders.

    Canonical scalar is county-market 444,887, not LEI-cell 441,180. NMLS company/broker/servicer/MLO rosters remain OPEN_SEARCH_ONLY. Do not use 994 LEIs, 626 Open Data lender rows, FDIC 110, or PHFA 102 names as the NMLS census.

  • Insurance

    How many distinct NAIC identities are on the PID licensed-company list — and is that agencies?

    • PID licensed-company NAIC census
    • 2025 Complaint Comparison tables
    • Enforcement and market-conduct catalogs
    • Agency/producer search paths

    1,722 licensed-company NAIC identities. Company ≠ agency ≠ producer.

    Agency and producer bulk OPEN_SEARCH_ONLY. Property and Allied Lines is not homeowners. SQA-009: homeowners/auto agency queries must not become the generic PA agency census.

    Open Insurance PennsylvaniaAsk about Insurance in Pennsylvania

  • Investment Advisers

    How many approved Pennsylvania state-IA CRDs are in the accepted IAPD extract — and can they be added to notice filings?

    • Approved Pennsylvania state-IA CRDs
    • State ERA reporting firms
    • Federal-covered notice filings
    • Principal-office overlay

    864 approved Pennsylvania state-IA CRDs. Do not add ERA, notice, or principal-office overlays.

    Principal office is not registration. Notice filing is not state IA. ERA is not an RIA. Mixed DoBS 1,525 documents have no securities-only or IA-only facet. Exact CRD attachments: 0.

What makes Pennsylvania different

  • Contractor: Pennsylvania has no universal statewide general-contractor license. HICPA home-improvement registration is search-only and is not a competence finding. Asbestos, lead, and public-work debarment are separate grains.
  • Move: PA PUC publishes a real intrastate Household Goods authority universe distinct from federal FMCSA. Utility Code is not automatically Carrier ID. A docket is not an adverse finding.
  • Senior: DOH facility licensing has meaningful exact state↔CMS bridges, while PCH/ALR remain separate DHS systems and current rosters are search-only. Home Care is not Home Health.
  • Lender: Strong 2025 HMDA market activity plus DoBS/NMLS search paths and PHFA program context, but no fake combined lenders census. NMLS current rosters remain search-only.
  • Insurance: Strong PID legal-insurer census, complaint comparison, enforcement, exams, and insolvency catalogs; agency/producer bulk remains search-only. Property and Allied Lines is not homeowners. SQA-009 product intent is preserved.
  • Investor: Strong IAPD jurisdiction lenses, but state registration, ERA, notice filing, and headquarters are separate regulatory concepts. Mixed DoBS documents are not an IA disciplinary census.

Research by exact identifier

  • Contractor: PA HIC / HICPA registration, DLI asbestos CERT, DLI lead CERT.
  • Move: PA PUC Utility Code, Carrier ID, USDOT, MC — keep state and federal identifiers distinct.
  • Senior: Pennsylvania state facility ID, CMS CCN.
  • Lender: NMLS, LEI.
  • Insurance: NAIC company code, NPN. A Pennsylvania producer license is not NPN unless the source says so.
  • Investor: firm CRD, person CRD where appropriate, SEC/IARD identifiers.

Source coverage and gaps

  • Pennsylvania has no universal statewide general-contractor license. HICPA is search-only, not zero.
  • 267 PA PUC Utility Codes are not FMCSA interstate authority. Broker, complaint, and enforcement bulk remain search-only.

The six specialist hubs contain incompatible grains and overlapping identities. Ask does not publish Pennsylvania providers, businesses, licensed professionals, or records as an aggregated numerical total. New public research surfaces: 7 (Six specialist /pennsylvania pages plus Ask /pennsylvania. Page/surface count only — not a business, record, provider, or license count. 7 surfaces ≠ 7 providers.)

Network principles

  • No Trust Score. No paid ranking. No best, safest, or vetted conclusions.
  • Unknown and search-only evidence is not zero.
  • Ask does not create claimable profiles from this aggregation.
  • Pennsylvania is statewide. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh Ask routes are not published.
