Hermosa permit value drops 84% to $133k
Permit value in Hermosa fell from $828k in September to $133k in October, an 84% drop, even as the number of permits slipped only slightly (19 to 16). Most of that work came through express permits—12 of the 16—suggesting small-scale interior jobs rather than major construction. Service requests ticked up 1.6% to 567, led by graffiti removal (77 calls) and rodent complaints (63). Violent crime dipped 11%, from 27 incidents to 24. Four food establishments failed inspection, up from zero the month prior.
