Note: the city publishes permits in one weekly batch, on Tuesdays, covering permits issued through the previous Saturday.
The city's latest weekly permit batch (received Tuesday, October 20, 1,321 permits citywide, issued Oct 11–Oct 17) had no newly issued permits in ZIP 90013. Nothing new is not nothing: the weekly email says so too, and the citywide batch shows where the week's building went.
Source: LADBS building permits (data.lacity.org), the most recent weekly batch. Addresses as the city publishes them; "value" is the applicant's declared job valuation ("—" = none declared). No owner or contractor names — here or in the email, ever.
A weekly email of the building permits newly issued in ZIP 90013 — address, type, use, and declared value, as the city publishes them — sent the morning the city's weekly permit batch lands. Free.
Confirm by email, then one ZIP-specific email a week — no spam, no owner or contractor names, one-click unsubscribe.
