Hyde Park logs 62 broken street lights in June
Thirty permits pulled in June totaled $3.1 million, down from $106 million the month before — likely reflecting one or two enormous projects wrapping up in May. Most of the June work came through express permits (15) and renovations (8). Complaints to 311 jumped 41%, led by 62 reports of busted street lights and 45 pothole calls. Crime rose 30%, with violent incidents climbing from 49 to 64. No new businesses opened or closed.
2025-06
Hyde Park permit count jumps 46%, led by express filings
Hyde Park pulled 38 permits in June, up from 26 the month prior. More than half—21—came through the city's express program, which fast-tracks smaller projects. Another 10 covered renovations or alterations. Total permitted value rose modestly to $7.1 million from $6.6 million. No new business licenses or closures showed up in the data. It's a quiet June otherwise, but the uptick in express permits suggests a cluster of minor rehab work across the neighborhood.
