David's Auto opens; East Garfield Park permits, 311 hit zero

David's Auto, a motor vehicle service shop, picked up a license in May. That's the only new business. Everything else in East Garfield Park flatlined: zero building permits after April's four (worth $3 million), zero 311 requests after 312, zero reported crimes after ten. The data doesn't explain why May went silent across the board.
