One count per address per kind of work. * Counted here only: Find Jobs lists the kinds of work contractors quote, not roofs or trade permits. Newest record: Oct 29. Source: City of Boston open data. Records appear as the publisher releases them, so they can be late or incomplete, and the kind of work is our reading of each permit. To pull a permit yourself, start at the same site.
