ca-housing

Public data from the publishers listed under Licence, retrieved by the OnRecord Studio pack builder on 2026-10-08 and published as pack ca-housing version 2026.10.8 (conformed schema 1.0).

Every file is the publisher's original, byte for byte, beside a Parquet copy that keeps every publisher column and adds standard identity, provenance and time columns. Rows are the builder's retrieval as of the build date; a file marked partial covers a period not yet over, so the publisher may still add or correct rows.

Licence

This pack's files come from several publishers: see each file's licence, attribution and disclaimer.

• originals/city_rental_unit_business_tax_accounts/rtax_accounts_datasd.csv (https://seshat.datasd.org/rtax_accounts/rtax_accounts_datasd.csv): PDDL-1.0. Disclaimer: The City makes no representation or warranty that the information contained in the Data is accurate, true or correct. In using the Data, you understand and agree that the information contained therein is subject to error, and cannot be relied upon without verification or site inspection.

Each file's Parquet copy is under the same licence as its original.

Conformed columns (Parquet)

• record_id: the publisher's key, numbered key:n when the file repeats it, else row:<hash>:<n>; publisher_record_id keeps the key as published.
• source_id, source_url, retrieved_at, source_sha256, source_row, pack_version.
• occurred_at (as recorded, no time zone: the City publishes Pacific wall-clock time), occurred_on, calendar_year, fiscal_year (City fiscal year, named by the June it ends in), time_basis (the publisher column the time came from). Absent or unreadable values are NULL.
• A publisher column named like one of these keeps its values as <name>_as_published (_as_published repeated until the name is free); the standard column never takes its values.

Verifying

manifest.json lists every file with its source URL, retrieval time, SHA-256, size and row count, and is signed with Ed25519 by key pack-2026-1 (public key b42202850cd9ecda4ab2b96548891d3a2a8275f74dde76bba2153826089ca8ff, key id 266f3c9c0320f40951854c7af66b6e73395a6735828fa04092c1cf79d2dafd2d, the SHA-256 of the public key). OnRecord Studio pins two publisher keys and accepts each only on its own packs: pack-2026-1 (b42202850cd9ecda4ab2b96548891d3a2a8275f74dde76bba2153826089ca8ff), held offline by the owner, signs the curated releases and never the snapshot pack; pack-ci-2026-1 (3049662bc87c61409d8b8a515d60adf1420a32504bd4f6215ac0c121550a318f), held by the scheduled snapshot job, signs only san-diego-snapshots. The app refuses a pack whose signature, key, key-to-pack binding or any file hash does not verify. Any original can also be re-checked against its publisher URL.

A parking citation, a call for service or a permit record states what the City recorded, not a finding about any person or a legal conclusion.

Automated source updates

The auto_updates configuration contains the latest supplemental raw CSV records for sources that changed after the curated baseline. Unchanged baseline sources remain in the curated configurations. record_json preserves every publisher column as text; adjacent columns identify the source URL, source SHA-256, row and retrieval time. These rows are supplemental raw records, not the curated conformed tables above. Compare sources and time periods before joining them; snapshots of the same source are not independent corroboration.

auto-updates/index.json identifies the current files, their history, checksums, row counts and the signed baseline revision. Earlier source versions are retained. The original signed manifest.json and curated release are preserved. The supplemental index is not signed by the curated pack's publisher key, and the app does not import this layer as a signed pack. Existing DOI registrations and published report editions are unchanged.

Coverage is bounded by source availability, CSV support, schema validation and the collection budgets. A missing update does not mean that a publisher's data stayed unchanged. Run outcomes and skipped sources are recorded in the automation repository's status/latest.json.
