About street use permits

Summary

Want to know about street improvements in your neighborhood? Maybe you want to know about new telecommunication conduits being installed under nearby roads? In this section of EveryBlock, we publish information about recent street use permits, and provide details about each project.

The information comes from the San Francisco Department of Public Works and includes the date the permit was approved, the location of the project, the permit number, the name of the agent who received the permit and the project's purpose — a short description of the work.

Also included is the permit's type, such as street improvement excavation, minor sidewalk encroachment project and several others.

The data comes from the Bureau of Street Use and Mapping of the San Francisco Department of Public Works. We at EveryBlock look for new data each day, though weeks can go by before new information is available from the city.
