Brighton Park · 2026-02

Brighton Park permit values hit $435k on just 9 projects

Brighton Park issued nine permits in February worth $435,200—nearly double the prior month's dollar total, even though permit count fell 44%. Most were express-program jobs. Nineteen new businesses got licenses, including Modern Relish Mobile (a shared kitchen user), Fang Bao Inc. (a retail food spot), and Javis Tire Shop. Service requests jumped 81%, led by 406 graffiti removal calls—over three times the next category. Crime reports climbed 67%; violent incidents rose from 37 to 60. Two food establishments failed inspections, half the previous month's count.
