New Orleans, LA building-permit records: official source and freshness

Name: New Orleans, LA building-permit source observation
Creator: City of New Orleans Safety and Permits

This dossier records one reproducible observation of the publisher’s public source. It preserves the publisher’s field names and source scope; it does not turn a permit into a bid, purchase order, or proof of current work.

Official source

Publisher: City of New Orleans Safety and Permits

Dataset: Permits ↗

Platform: Socrata · Date field: issuedate

Source-date observation

Newest record in source: 2026-08-27T20:05:31Z
PermitGrab observed: 2026-08-28T05:22:14Z
Query window: 2026-07-29 ≤ date < 2026-08-29
Rows in stated window: 1,523

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: address, permit type, work description, applicant, a published contractor field, declared construction value, and a publisher owner field.

Scope note: The publisher labels its contractor field in the plural. Multiple firms on one record require role-preserving parsing, and a published owner field is not proof of current ownership.

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(issuedate), count(*) FROM rcm3-fn58 WHERE issuedate >= '2026-07-29T00:00:00.000' AND issuedate < '2026-08-29T00:00:00.000';
