What a permit record does not carry
A permit record is the construction paperwork: a number, a type, a status and a date. The land-use decision that made the project legal happened earlier, in a public hearing, and it is not in the permit portal. ZoneWire has read 34 Philadelphia council and commission meetings from the last 24 months and holds 72 land-use decisions from them, each with the board that heard it, and the vote where one was recorded.

No. A permit record is the construction paperwork: a number, a type, a status and a date. The land-use decision that made the project legal happened earlier, in a public hearing, and it is not in the permit portal. That hearing is a separate public record, held by the board that heard it.
