Forest Glen crime doubles as permit value jumps 79%
Forest Glen recorded 50 crimes in June, up from 24 the month before—a 108% spike that included nine violent offenses. On the permits side, value rose 79% to about $839k, though most of that came through 15 express permits rather than major renovations. Residents filed 108 pothole complaints and 79 tree debris requests, contributing to an overall 12% bump in 311 calls. No new businesses opened or closed. The crime jump is sharp enough to warrant a second look at what changed, but the data doesn't say.
