New York City, NY building-permit records: official source and freshness

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, work type, permit status, owner as filed, and applicant licence.

Scope note: Owner and licence attributes are source fields. Neither establishes current contractor-of-record status or assessor 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(issued_date), count(*) FROM rbx6-tga4 WHERE issued_date >= '2026-07-27T00:00:00.000' AND issued_date < '2026-08-28T00:00:00.000';
