Clearing permit count drops but value jumps 37%
Clearing issued half as many permits in June—10 instead of 20—but their combined value climbed to $373k, up from $272k the month before. Nine of the 10 were express permits; one was new construction. Rodent complaints led 311 calls with 183, a category that's been steady lately. Overall service requests ticked up 5.5% to 735. Crime reports rose 12% to 111, though violent incidents fell from 36 to 30. No food inspections failed and no new businesses opened.
