Albany Park permit value drops 64% in May
Albany Park pulled 38 permits in May, down from 48 the month before, but the real story is the dollar drop: $1.3 million this month versus $3.7 million in April. Most of the work came through express permits—29 of the 38—while seven renovation jobs and a couple of sign permits rounded out the list. No new businesses opened or closed, and service requests stayed quiet.
