Our Cambridge data comes directly from the city's official open-data permit feed — the Permit Finder roll-up of its per-type permit datasets — updated Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and filtered to construction permits. Each record carries the permit type, issue date, status, address with ZIP, and a link back to the city's detail record. This roll-up does not publish project valuations, contractors, or scope-of-work text.
