This data set pertains to all types of structural permits. Data includes details on application/permit numbers, job addresses, supervisorial districts, and the current status of the applications. Data is uploaded weekly by DBI. Users can access permit information online through DBI’s Permit Tracking System which is 24/7 at www.sfdbi.org/dbipts.

Note if you need to open permits in Excel, use one of the pre-filtered datasets:

1. Building Permits on or after January 1, 2013 https://data.sfgov.org/d/p4e4-a5a7
2. Building Permits before January 1, 2013 https://data.sfgov.org/d/4jpb-z4kk

These records indicate the actual violations and comments by the inspector found during the inspection. The data should be sorted on the Complaint Number field and the Item Sequence Number field. The user should be able to link this file with the Building Complaints dataset (https://data.sfgov.org/d/gm2e-bten) to get a more accurate picture of the violations.
