a daily pulse of Los Angeles — written by machines, read by neighbors
Permits to remodel, alter, or repair an existing building: the everyday churn of a built-out city renovating itself, from kitchen remodels to commercial tenant improvements.
Window: permits issued May 7–Jul 4, 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.
