2024-04
Kenwood logs $112k in permits, mostly express work
Kenwood pulled nine permits in April totaling $112,000, all of it new activity after a quiet March. Seven were express permits; two covered elevator equipment. No new businesses opened or closed. Residents filed 337 service requests, led by 98 tree-trim asks (a category the city no longer accepts). Building violations came in second with 27. Police recorded 134 crimes, 38 of them violent. One food establishment failed inspection.
2025-04
Kenwood permit value drops 93% after $22M March
Kenwood issued 15 permits in April, up from 10 the month before, but total value collapsed from $22.8 million to $1.55 million—a 93% drop. March's figure was almost certainly driven by one or two big jobs that didn't repeat. Thirteen of April's permits came through the express program, with two renovation permits rounding out the set. No new businesses opened, none closed, and service requests were zero.
