How to use the archive
A faster research queue, not a promise of inventory.
What appears in the Chicago signal archive?
The archive lists current demolition-related City of Chicago permit records that pass Salvage Signal's reuse-focused screen, ordered by an explainable salvage-potential score.
How current are these demolition permit signals?
The public archive refreshes from the City feed on a 15-minute cache interval. Each card shows the municipal issue date and links to a detailed signal brief.
Does a listed permit mean salvage material is available?
No. A permit is a public prospecting clue, not permission or an inventory guarantee. Verify ownership, authorization, schedule, hazards, access, and actual materials before acting.
Verify the municipal facts.
Every signal cites the official City of Chicago Building Permits dataset and identifies the score as a Salvage Signal heuristic.
