Permit valuation

Official City of Los Angeles open-data product exposing LADBS Certificate of Occupancy records through dataset 3f9m-afei, an anonymous SODA API, and downloadable full files. Rows carry CofO number, issue date, latest certificate status and status-effective date; assessor book/page/parcel, legal-description and street-address keys; the related PCIS permit; permit and building facts; and, where populated, an `occupancy` value explicitly defined as the approved use for the structure. Public metadata identifies LADBS, official provenance, CC0 1.0 dedication, a weekly committed refresh, and data updated 2026-08-17; the checked live data contained 128,551 rows with CofO issue dates from 2005-01-26 through 2026-08-14. This is a certificate-record dataset, not proof of present operations: 82.89% of checked rows have null occupancy, no separate certificate-type or successor identifier is emitted, and current interpretation must be pinned to `cofo_issue_date`, `status_date`, `latest_status`, and the dataset-level source vintage.

Official City of Los Angeles open-data product exposing soft-story-related permit and permit-application records through a dedicated Socrata catalog asset (nc44-6znn), API, and downloadable files. It contains parcel/address keys, permit identifiers, issue and status dates, permit status/type/category, work description, building attributes, and related permit-party fields. The product is limited to City of Los Angeles permit records selected into this soft-story view; it is not the mandatory programme's full building inventory. Metadata commits to weekly refresh, but the data was last updated 2023-05-22 and the latest row dates are 2023-05-19, so consumers must pin results to that source vintage. Permit issuance, `CofC Issued`, `Permit Finaled`, or absence of a record must not be interpreted as current structural safety, retrofit design adequacy, or complete ordinance compliance without an official status definition and newer authority evidence.
