The city publishes no applicant or contractor names on these filings, and we never invent one. What an application gives you is the project itself, ahead of issuance: the address, the work, the published project cost where the city prints one, and exactly where it sits in review. The newest filing in the register is dated Thursday, November 12, 2026.
