Housing Starts 1996 - Present
This table includes residential building permits issued from 1996 to the present (within the last six months). Each listing includes the permitted address, map-lot parcel identification number, Cambridge neighborhood, prior use, permitted use, number of permitted units, and number of units lost or gained,
The date reflects the year during which a building permit was first issued for a development project. This is not an indication of the date of completion. This list only includes projects that removed an existing building, constructed a new building or combined or split units within an existing structure. Major rehabilitation projects that did not change a structures unit count are not included here. All data is subject to revision.
Data sources include the Cambridge Assessing Department, the Cambridge Development Log, and the Cambridge Inspection Services Department.
