East Garfield Park · 2024-09
Permit value jumps to $19.7M despite fewer projects
East Garfield Park pulled 15 permits in September—down from 22 the month before—but their combined value hit $19.7 million, more than double August's $7.9 million. Nine of those permits came through the city's express program. The rest were scattered: three renovation or alteration jobs, two reinstatements of revoked permits, and one new construction. No new business licenses. No 311 calls logged in the dataset. A lopsided month where a single big-dollar project likely shifted the whole picture.
