City In Review: Chicago

Edison Park · 2024-11

Edison Park permits fall to three in November

Edison Park pulled just three permits in November, down from twelve the month before. The total value—$87,085—dropped by more than half. Among the new businesses: Discover Montessori, a children's services facility, and Essential Water Technologies. Violent crime doubled from two incidents to four, though both figures are small. Residents filed 262 service requests, down 17 percent, with 54 of those for tree trimming (a category the city's stopped accepting). Potholes, street lights, and garbage carts rounded out the usual complaints.
