No. 5 · Week of July 28 – August 3, 2026

298 filings hit the public record this week. 235 in Southampton and 63 in East Hampton. Hampton Bays led again, 38 filings.

Programming note: this issue shipped late. East Hampton’s records portal put up a wall against robots, and then our own quality gate held the door for a week. Both sorted. Filings below are as of August 3.

The tent guys filed 8 permits this week. 600 guests' worth of poles and canvas.

3 filings mention residential elevator this week. The amenities race continues.
