PUBLIC SIGNAL WORKS

Redacted sample · Observed August 7, 2026

What a project signal looks like.

These examples are derived from current official city records in the verified feasibility run. Exact addresses, filing identifiers, company names, and project names are removed from this public sample.

Important: A filing is a research signal, not proof that work is open, unassigned, commercially suitable, or available to the reader. Exact address and filing identifier redacted from every example below.
High-confidence

Toronto

Application on hold

Restaurant tenant fit-out — sprinkler shop drawing

Public description indicates an interior fit-up and sprinkler-shop-drawing scope. The application-stage status makes it suitable for contractor review, but it does not establish availability.

Why surfaced: explicit Fire/Security Upgrade filing plus commercial tenant context.

High-confidence

Toronto

Application acceptable

Commercial garage — maglock installation

Public description indicates multiple electromagnetic locks associated with a commercial building context.

Why surfaced: explicit Fire/Security Upgrade filing plus commercial-use language.

High-confidence

New York City

Professional certification review

Retail renovation — sprinkler heads and piping

Public description indicates removal, relocation, and installation of sprinkler heads and related piping for a retail renovation.

Why surfaced: structured sprinkler work plus explicit retail context.

review-required

New York City

Plan examiner review

Sprinkler/standpipe filing — context incomplete

The structured record indicates sprinkler or standpipe work, but the public description does not clearly establish a commercial tenant or use. This belongs in a review queue, not a high-confidence list.

Why surfaced: relevant structured work field; commercial context needs contractor judgment.

Official source families

Toronto Open Data CKAN — Building Permits, Active Permits

NYC Open Data — DOB NOW: Build, Job Application Filings

Delivered pilot rows are source-identified with the official dataset link and filing or permit identifier, observation date, displayed source status, and limitations. This does not promise a permanent row-specific URL. Public agencies may later correct, delay, withdraw, or remove records.

Manually reviewed means we checked the displayed source identifier, address, filing/application date, current displayed status, and apparent scope relevance shortly before delivery. It does not verify project availability, procurement status, code compliance, filer accuracy, or buyer eligibility.

Toronto records are read from the live City CKAN datastore. The catalogue’s server-rendered placeholder and fully rendered page can temporarily disagree, so delivery relies on the datastore response, official identifier, and recorded observation time.
