Humboldt Park permit value drops 76% to $2.4M
Permit filings jumped 43% in June—57 versus 40 the month prior—but total dollar value collapsed from $9.8 million to $2.4 million. Nearly half the permits came through the express program, which typically handles smaller jobs. Signs accounted for another 14 filings. No new business licenses showed up, and the larger construction categories stayed quiet.
