New excavation permits in Chicago — week of October 26, 2026
Every matching building permit the City of Chicago issued from 2026-10-26 to 2026-11-01, read from the City’s own dataset ydr8-5enu and re-read daily. Filter: Any permit whose work description mentions excavation, caissons, or shoring. 245 in the year to 2026-07-01 — a thin trade, so quiet weeks are common.
This week is still in progress — each day’s permits land here the morning the City makes them public, so the table below will keep growing.
