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–Jul 31, 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.
