No database of this size and complexity, however, is error-free. You might find some incorrect data in the Building Permits Data System points, as you would in any other data set. Over the years, building permit points were geocoded using a variety of software and reference data. The Baltimore Metropolitan Council made every effort to ensure accurate geocoding however there may be inaccuracies or inconsistencies in how the points were placed. For best results, the Baltimore Metropolitan Council recommends aggregating the building permit points to a larger geography (ex. Census tract, zip code) when analyzing the data. The Baltimore Metropolitan Council does not make any warranty, express or implied, as to the use or appropriateness of the data, and there are no warranties of fitness for a particular purpose or use and no representation is made as to the accuracy or completeness of the data or image products included in Building Permits Data System.
