What this source covers
New Orleans publishes building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits — including applications still in review — to its open data portal once a day, so PermitChime tracks permit status and the application, issue, expiry and completion dates, but not plan review results, inspections, fees or conditions, because the city does not publish them.
