Title:

Licenses and Inspections Building and Zoning Permits: City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Description:

**Daily updates of L&I data have resumed.** The Department of Licenses & Inspections reviews construction plans and conducts building inspections to ensure the safety of the workers and the public. [Zoning permits](https://business.phila.gov/zoning-basics/) are issued to authorize new construction or additions to a building or to authorize the change of use in a building or ground. [Building permits](https://www.phila.gov/services/permits-violations-licenses/build-rent-or-sell-a-property/get-a-building-permit/) are required before the start of a specific construction activity to enlarge, repair, change, add to or demolish a structure, and to install equipment or systems in a structure. Depending on the scale or type of construction activity, it may need to be first authorized via a zoning permit. Plumbing and electrical permits, among others, may also be required for new or existing buildings. **Please note that this is a large dataset and therefore CSV and SHP files might give an error when you try to download them. If possible, use the API link below, instead of CSV/SHP formats, to access the data. If you can't use the API and you have trouble downloading the full CSV or SHP files, we've split up the dataset by year (based on the permit issue date). Please be sure to download data for all of the years to see the full dataset. You can learn more about how to use the API at [Carto's SQL API site](https://carto.com/developers/sql-api/) and in the [Carto guide in the section on making calls to the API](https://carto.com/developers/sql-api/guides/making-calls/).** Trouble downloading or have questions about this City dataset?
