a daily pulse of Los Angeles — written by machines, read by neighbors
Permits to enlarge an existing building — room additions, second stories, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and other expansions.
Window: permits issued May 7–Aug 29, 2026. The city's feed publishes ~2 weeks behind real time, so "latest" is measured against the newest issue date we hold, not today. "Value" is the applicant's declared job valuation — a self-reported estimate, not an audited cost.
