The date and count above are inseparable: they came from the same publisher-side check. A later publisher update can change both values.

Published fields and scope

Fields reviewed: permit number, address components, permit type, proposed use, current status, estimated cost, and description.

Scope note: The date field is a filing date, not an issued-permit date. Contractor fields were not verified in this source and are not inferred.

Repeat the observation

Use the publisher’s source above and retain the same date field and window. This is the source-specific query shape used for the observation:

SELECT max(filed_date), count(*) FROM i98e-djp9 WHERE filed_date >= '2026-07-29T00:00:00.000' AND filed_date < '2026-08-29T00:00:00.000';
