Know before you buy
- The city can correct or change a permit after it is issued. We show the record as it was when we collected it.
- The Chicago dataset carries no contractor licence number, so the licence column is empty for this product.
- The Chicago dataset has no ZIP column, so ZIP can be blank on some rows.
- Chicago lists contractors in several slots on a permit. We keep contractor businesses and drop owner, tenant and applicant slots, so a few permits show no contractor.
- Chicago has no trade field. We assign the trade with fixed keyword rules on the work description, so some permits can be filed under the wrong trade or missed.
