Humboldt Park permit volume jumps 34% in October
Humboldt Park issued 47 permits in October, up from 35 the month before. Most were express permits (31 total), followed by 11 renovation jobs. Total construction value dropped sharply to $1.5 million, down from $29 million in September — likely the result of one or two large projects wrapping up the prior month. No new business licenses showed up in the data this time around.
