Who uses it

Contractors and trades (roofing, solar, HVAC, pools, electrical): find new jobs and the contractors who won them.
Building suppliers: reach contractors the week they pull a permit.
Real estate and investors: track new construction and renovations by zip.
Analysts: compare construction activity across cities.

Cities

Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Kansas City, Mesa, Honolulu, Cambridge, Somerville, Providence, Cincinnati, Norfolk, Montgomery County MD, Prince George's County MD, Gainesville, Cary, Oakland, San Mateo County, Sacramento County, Roseville, Little Rock, Bloomington, Everett. Plus any other Socrata open-data permit dataset you paste in.

If a city moves its dataset, the actor searches that city's portal and picks up the new one by itself. The run's SUMMARY record shows which dataset each city used.
