Every permit issued in August 2026, grouped by address. One property often has several — a new building carries its own plumbing, drain and mechanical permits. Descriptions are the City’s own words, and the status is where each permit stands now, not when it was issued — so work that has since finished reads “Closed”, and the stages are explained on the About the data page.

How to read this
Applications and permits are separate City processes. Most building permits never involve a development application, and the two counts above are not connected — a permit issued this month is not the outcome of an application made this month.
An application is a request, not an approval. Sale prices cover TRREB district C01, which may cover a wider area than Kensington–Chinatown alone.
The September 2026 safety report covers what was reported to police. Each figure names the period it covers.
