How many fire sprinkler permits did Chicago issue in July 2026?

15. That is every matching building permit the City issued from 2026-07-01 to 2026-07-31, counted in the City’s own dataset ydr8-5enu and re-read hourly. Filter: Any permit whose work description mentions a sprinkler, fire suppression, or a standpipe. 261 in the year to 2026-07-01 — a thin trade, so quiet weeks are common.

July 2026 is still running — this total climbs as the City files.
