Cupertino building permits — week of May 18, 2026
Valley Green Drive is having a week — four units at the same apartment complex filed water heater replacements in a single pull, suggesting a coordinated infrastructure sweep rather than routine one-offs. That pattern anchors a quiet week across Cupertino, where permit volume dropped nearly 40% and every single filed permit came in with no declared valuation. The most substantive residential work is a combined 700-square-foot kitchen and family room remodel on Dumas Drive, making it the week's de facto headline project by scope.
