Seven of the eight came through the express permit program, typically used for quick interior fixes. The outlier was a single renovation permit. No new businesses opened, no 311 requests logged, and the rest of the city's usual metrics sat at zero for the month.

Residents filed 338 service requests, up 4% from last month—led by 39 tree emergencies and 34 calls about busted street lights. Crime dropped 11%, with violent offenses down 18% to 23 incidents. No new business licenses appeared, and no restaurants failed inspections.
