City In Review: Chicago

Clearing · 2026-05

Clearing logs six new licenses, no permit activity

Clearing issued no building permits in May after logging four worth $77k the month before. Six new business licenses appeared: VGS Diesel, Kerry's Auto Body, Highend Motors, Aim Productions, and Top Notch Sewing Solutions, a manufacturing shop. Service-request and crime counts both hit zero—down from 281 and five, respectively—suggesting incomplete data reporting rather than a genuinely silent month.
