a daily pulse of Los Angeles — written by machines, read by neighbors
Permits for new structures that aren't habitable buildings — retaining walls, fence walls, shoring, and other site structures.
Window: permits issued May 7–Oct 16, 2026. The city publishes permits in one weekly batch, on Tuesdays, covering permits issued through the previous Saturday, 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.
The city's latest weekly permit batch landed Tuesday, October 20 (permits issued Oct 11–Oct 17). It carries 38 new non-building structures permits, $2.2M declared, of 1,321 new permits citywide. All of them, biggest first:
