Brighton Park permits drop 55%, just $209k issued

Brighton Park pulled 17 permits in September, down from 38 the month before. Total value fell even harder—$209,000 versus August's $1.8 million. Ten of the 17 were express permits, the fast-track kind for minor work. Three sign permits and a couple renovations rounded out the rest. No new business licenses, no 311 requests logged. A slow month by most measures.
