How this page works

Santa Monica is its own city, so the City of Los Angeles' records stop at its line. Every morning the Globe reads the public records that name Santa Monica and lists them here. Nothing on the lists above is written by a model or guessed from a headline; each line says what the record says, on the record's own date, and links to it.

Being built: the City of Santa Monica's own permit file (open under the ODC-BY 1.0 license) joins this page with the desk's next morning read.
Filed to open: California ABC's daily report of new liquor-license applications, where the application names Santa Monica as its city. An application can be protested, withdrawn or denied.
Houses and backyard units are never listed. We name businesses, developers and agencies, never private people.
