Market findings
- The statewide NJ DCA construction extract contains 2,678,341 source records (1,366,478 permit-issued and 1,311,863 certificate-issued). That is not 2.68 million unique permits or projects.
- The canonical current New Jersey municipality universe is 564 municipalities; 556 are observed in this extract and 8 are agency-named non-reporters.
- New Jersey maintains distinct public-works evidence sources: WALL, Wage Violation Watchlist, Treasury construction debarment, and Treasury vendor debarment. Appearance on one list is not appearance on another. Absence is not a clean record.
- Specialty state programs in the acquired snapshot include lead evaluation (182), lead abatement (87), asbestos safety-control monitors (37), and fire-protection permitted businesses (529) with official C1–C6 classes preserved.
Four-county research
County pages project statewide construction source records onto four New Jersey counties. They are not municipality directories and not service-area maps.
Construction source records
P and C are separate source classes. Do not add their costs. No contractor, address, or project identifier is in this source.
2,678,341
Total source records
Not permits. Not projects.

STATE special records
Not an extra municipality.
Coverage: data received as of 2026-08-07. Stated retention is 60 months after receipt; observed process dates run 1989-10-12 through 2026-08-07, so this extract is not a simple 60-month file. Recent months are unaudited. Statewide construction rows are MARKET ONLY and have no contractor attribution.

- Calculation
- Count of source rows. Status P and Status C counted separately. STATE rows counted separately.
- Reporting grain
- SOURCE RECORD COUNT — not project count
- Coverage
- Most municipalities; 8 agency-named non-reporters; historical process dates retained
- Caveat
- P and C are separate source classes. Do not add their costs. No contractor, address, or project identifier is in this source.
Permit / certificate relationship
Candidate permit/certificate relationship based on source fields (municipality_code + permit_number): 13,393 P records with a candidate C and 13,308 one-to-one candidate groups. This is not a canonical project identity and is not 13,308 projects.
Permit numbers are reused within a municipality. Groups include one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many P/C patterns. No official project identifier exists.
Construction cost
Statewide calendar construction-value totals are BLOCKED_DUE_TO_RECONCILIATION versus the Construction Reporter (about 20–52% for 2023–2025). Combined P+C cost is BLOCKED_PENDING_DEFINITION. Extreme ≥$500M rows are excluded from any approved metric.
Combined P+C construction value is not published. P-stage and C-stage sums are not published as statewide construction value. 7 unresolved extreme (≥ $500M) source rows stay in the evidence layer and out of approved metrics.
Housing-unit change
Net housing-unit change on permit-issued records (gross positive and gross negative disclosed). Negative values are net losses/demolitions where the source uses them that way — not data corruption. This is not a fabricated “homes built” total.

Municipality coverage
STATE rows are individual state-building records. They are not an additional municipality and are not additive to a municipal statewide total. Do not infer that all 564 municipalities report data.

Construction Reporter reconciliation
Source-row activity and official Construction Reporter calendar summaries are different products. Record counts remain valid at source-record grain. Calendar value/unit totals that do not reconcile stay blocked.

Public Works Contractor Registration
Coverage SOURCE_NOT_ACQUIRED. A missing roster is not zero registrants. Official roster is a Power BI interactive view with no supported deterministic full-file export.
Specialty credentials
These are distinct program identities, not a general contractor license. Counts are source-list observations. Exact official identifiers may attach later; name-only rows do not create profiles.
182
Lead evaluation contractors
87
Lead abatement contractors
Not lead evaluation.

Asbestos safety-control monitors
Not a DOL asbestos-abatement contractor license.
529
Fire-protection permitted businesses
Official classes C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 preserved. Subclass counts are not in this public snapshot.
Safe House / HIC notices of violation
18 NOVs: 15 failure-to-renew and 3 failure-to-register. Proposed penalty $2,500 each. A notice of violation is not a final order. A proposed penalty is not a paid fine. Failure to register or renew is not a criminal conviction. Names below are source-inventory rows, not contractor profiles.

OCP / other enforcement
Office of Consumer Protection legal filings: 4 acquired PDFs. Coverage is partial. This is not a complete OCP history and cannot support “no other enforcement record found.” Board-action and new-home bulk families are not acquired.
Profile evidence modules
Public profile links rendered from this page: 0. Statewide construction rows remain MARKET ONLY — no permit activity is attached to contractors. Name-only and review-required identities are withheld. Absence is not shown as “no enforcement history” or a clean record.
Current snapshot
One audited construction extract and current public-works/specialty snapshots. This is a current snapshot, not a change series derived from retrieval timestamps.
