City In Review: Chicago

Archer Heights · 2025-07

Archer Heights permit value jumps to $223k

Six permits in July totaled $223,000, up from $7,000 the month before—most of that tied to a new construction project and four express permits. Service requests climbed 20 percent to 621, driven by 208 graffiti removal calls. Crime reports rose 46 percent to 120, though violent incidents held steady at 23. No new businesses opened or closed, and the neighborhood didn't log a food inspection failure.
