Englewood permit value drops 90% to $1.1 million
Englewood's permit count fell by a third in February—22 versus 34 the month before—but the real story is the dollar value, which cratered from $10.9 million to $1.1 million. Most permits were Express Program filings (12) or basic renovations (8). Crime dropped 22%, with violent offenses down 30%. Service requests dipped 8%, led by 124 tree-trim requests in a category the city no longer accepts. One food inspection failure turned up.

Englewood permit value jumps to $6M on 21 applications
Englewood's 21 building permits in February carried a combined value of $6 million, up from $938k the month before—a 543% leap on the same volume of applications. Twelve permits came through the city's express program. A new limited business license went to Calahan Funeral Home. Service requests ticked up 7% to 597, led by garbage cart calls and building violations. Crime reports surged 52% to 300, with violent incidents up 54% to 122. Five food establishments failed inspections after zero failures in January.
