City In Review: Chicago

Garfield Ridge · 2024-05

Garfield Ridge permit value jumps to $1.9 million

Garfield Ridge logged $1.9 million in permit value in May, up from $200k the month before. Most of that came through 26 express permits—quick-turn work that doesn't need the full review process. The neighborhood also pulled two renovation permits and two for new construction. No new businesses opened, no 311 requests filed, and the other usual counts came back at zero.
