Building Permits

This dataset contains various files detailing the City of Boston’s building permits applications from September 26, 2006 to the recent present. The raw data were originally gathered and released by the Inspectional Service Department (ISD) of the City of Boston. It details various property, land-use, and building activities for the properties of Boston. The Boston Area Research Initiative maintains various forms of these data to capture both the cross-sectional and longitudinal changes in Boston. The cross-sectional individual-level permits data for each year are labeled: Permits.Records.YEAR. The cross-sectional aggregate data are labeled both by year and the pertinent level of geography: Permits.Ecometrics.CT.YEAR for census tracts, Permits.Ecometrics.CBG.YEAR for census block groups, and Permits.Ecometrics.LP.YEAR for land parcels. Longitudinal versions of these aggregate data are also curated using the label: Permits.Ecometrics.CT.Longitudinal.本数据集包含多份文件，详细记录了2006年9月26日至今波士顿市的建筑许可申请情况。原始数据由波士顿市检查服务部（Inspectional Service Department，ISD）最初收集并对外发布。该数据集涵盖波士顿各类物业、土地使用及建筑活动相关信息。波士顿区域研究倡议（Boston Area Research Initiative）负责维护该数据集的多种格式版本，以完整捕捉波士顿市的截面与纵向变化。按年份划分的截面个体级许可数据命名格式为：Permits.Records.YEAR。按年份及对应地理层级命名的截面汇总数据包括：针对普查片区（census tracts）的汇总数据命名为Permits.Ecometrics.CT.YEAR，针对普查街区组（census block groups）的汇总数据命名为Permits.Ecometrics.CBG.YEAR，针对土地地块（land parcels）的汇总数据命名为Permits.Ecometrics.LP.YEAR。上述汇总数据的纵向版本也已整理归档，命名格式为：Permits.Ecometrics.CT.Longitudinal。
