Waiting for a decision
applied for in the last 12 months, not yet issued
296 permits are waiting
36 are Residential Alteration, Remodel, Repair, the largest category in the queue.
193 older open records, many never closed out by the city
373 fire inspection records (administrative, not construction)
How we count this
A permit counts as waiting when it has no issue date, its status is not terminal (Void, Voided, Withdrawn, Denied, Expired, Complete, Finaled, Final, Plan Approval Expired, Certificate of Occupancy Issued., Closed, Cancelled, Canceled), it was applied for in the last 12 months (365 days), and it is not a fire inspection record. The 12-month cutoff keeps the number meaningful: older open records are mostly leftovers the city never closed out, not live applications. The scraper re-checks old open permits monthly, so statuses that went stale get corrected.
