Subject: Electronic building-permit inventory and data dictionary — East Providence

Please provide the City’s existing electronic building-permit register or database export covering all retained years through the export date, preferably as CSV or XLSX, along with any existing data dictionary and a statement of the earliest year and departments covered.

Please include all retained statuses, including applications, issued, denied, withdrawn, expired, cancelled, open and completed records, where maintained. Please include these existing fields where available:

• Unique record ID, permit number, parent/related record IDs and record/permit type.
• Site address, plat/block/lot or parcel ID, and public project/work description.
• Current status and existing application, approval, issuance, expiration, closure and certificate-of-occupancy dates.
• Proposed use and work category; ADU/accessory dwelling, garage apartment/conversion, unit conversion, new construction, addition, alteration and demolition indicators where maintained.
• Existing and proposed dwelling counts, units added, floor area, and reported construction valuation.
• Permit fees and public references/links to related planning, zoning, variance, inspection and occupancy records, if included in the existing export.

Please exclude private contact details, signatures, payment information and other protected personal information. I am requesting existing electronic records, not newly compiled analyses or copies of every plan attachment.

If historical records are maintained in separate systems, please identify the coverage of each and provide the existing electronic register/export for each. If the current public permit portal has moved, please provide the working public-search URL and any existing bulk-download or open-data link.

Please provide a cost estimate before performing any work that would incur a fee.
