Calumet Heights permit value drops to $202k
Calumet Heights logged 14 permits in June, up from 11 the month before, but total value fell 26% to about $202,000. Twelve of those permits came through the express program—quick turnarounds for smaller jobs. The neighborhood didn't add or lose any businesses, and the reporting payload shows zeroes across service requests, crime, and food inspections. A quiet month on most fronts.
2025-06
Calumet Heights permit value nearly triples to $809k
Calumet Heights logged 27 permits in June, up from 18 the month before, with total value jumping 189% to roughly $809,000. Nearly all of that—24 permits—came through the express permit program, which handles smaller-scope work. Two renovation permits and one elevator permit rounded out the activity. No new business licenses showed up in the data, and the other metrics were flat or unavailable.
