City In Review: Chicago

Bridgeport · 2024-10

Bridgeport permit count jumps 44% on express filings

Bridgeport pulled 39 permits in October, up from 27 the month before. Twenty-five of those were express permits—the kind contractors use for routine work that doesn't need full review. Five wrecking or demolition permits also came through. Total declared value hit $2.6 million, a 10.7% bump. No new business licenses, no service requests logged, and the other metrics sat at zero.
