2025-05
Beverly's 311 calls nearly double on tree debris
Beverly logged 1,261 service requests in May, up 95% from April, driven almost entirely by storm cleanup. Residents filed 292 tree debris removal requests and 258 tree emergencies—together accounting for nearly half of all 311 calls. Permits climbed 23% to 27, with $1.5 million in declared work. Nineteen of those were express permits, suggesting minor repairs rather than major projects. Violent crime dropped 32%, from 22 incidents to 15. Overall crime ticked up slightly to 74 cases. No new businesses opened or closed during the month.
2026-05
Beverly permits, 311 calls drop to zero in May
Beverly recorded no building permits in May after ten in April, and no 311 service requests after 250. Two new businesses showed up: Barraco's Pizza and The Vineyard Banquets got licenses for on-premises alcohol and retail food, and Safeguard Self Storage registered under a limited business license. No crimes were reported. The across-the-board zeroes suggest incomplete or delayed data rather than a genuinely silent month.
