Coverage note

Read the count with the source limits in view.

PermitWire unions the City of San José active and last-30-days building permit feeds, with an under-inspection feed used for lifecycle context. A rolling feed can omit older records, source fields may be blank, and a permit is not proof that work is available or approved for every trade shown.

For reproducibility, review the public source metadata and the detailed record before using this report for planning or outreach.
