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

Fields reviewed: address, permit type, permit description, published contractor name, and an OPA owner field.
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(permitissuedate), count(*) FROM permits WHERE permitissuedate >= '2026-07-27' AND permitissuedate < '2026-08-28';
