Englewood permit value drops 90% to $1.1 million
Englewood's permit count fell by a third in February—22 versus 34 the month before—but the real story is the dollar value, which cratered from $10.9 million to $1.1 million. Most permits were Express Program filings (12) or basic renovations (8). Crime dropped 22%, with violent offenses down 30%. Service requests dipped 8%, led by 124 tree-trim requests in a category the city no longer accepts. One food inspection failure turned up.
