## Changelog: New York Building Permits Scraper

### 0.4

- New fields: owner_name, applicant_name, contractor_name, contractor_email, contractor_address and Chicago's contacts list; contractors are returned as published (individuals included) with their phone, and descriptions are kept whole outside Los Angeles, whose portal terms keep it name-free.

### 0.3

- When a city returns nothing because it has not yet published the requested days (New York City and Los Angeles lag by days), the run status names the city and its newest published date.
- Optional Slack or webhook digest after each run; the prefilled first run is capped at 3 cities and 10 permits per city.
- The run status now says when your maximum charge per run stopped the run.
- Long look-backs are faster: permits are read 5,000 rows at a time.
- Personal names and local phone numbers in descriptions masked in every city; a city whose source fails mid-run keeps the permits already read; Cincinnati permits with two work types return both.
- Seven more cities: Austin, Baton Rouge, Cincinnati, Mesa, New Orleans, Norfolk and Orlando; contractor business phone (Austin, Mesa, Orlando); future-dated rows skipped; price lowered to $1.50 per 1,000 permits.

### 0.2

- Look-back capped at 90 days.
- Runs whose filters match nothing finish faster.
- Phone numbers written without a space after the area code are now masked too, and Los Angeles inspector names are removed.
- Lawful-use section added (B2B only, no spam, CASL/CAN-SPAM/GDPR); removal requests via the Issues tab honoured within 7 days through a suppression list.
- Owner-builder, owner, applicant and family-trust names removed from descriptions; Los Angeles drops every personal name; the run status reports cities that hit the per-city cap.

### 0.1

- First release: Seattle, Chicago, NYC, Los Angeles and San Francisco; contractor companies; filters and new-or-changed mode.
