2024-10
Garfield Ridge permit count jumps, dollar value drops by half
Garfield Ridge logged 49 permits in October, up from 39 the month before, but total value fell 48% to $1.6 million. Most of the activity—41 permits—came through the express program, suggesting smaller-scale work. Six renovation permits and two new construction rounds out the mix. No new businesses opened, none closed, and the other usual metrics are all zeroes this month.
2025-10
Garfield Ridge permit value rockets to $77.5 million
A single permit — or a handful — drove Garfield Ridge's valuation from $3.8 million in September to $77.5 million in October, a 1,944% jump. The neighborhood issued 39 permits total, up from 27 the month before. Most were express permits (26), but two new construction filings suggest something bigger landed. Crime rose 17% to 179 incidents, though violent offenses dropped. Rodent complaints (122) and graffiti requests (102) led the 311 load, which fell 7% overall to 1,001 calls. Two food inspections failed.
