Hyde Park permits drop to $259k
Fourteen permits totaling $259k in November—down from October's $286 million. Ten were express permits, the fast-track variety for minor work. Two covered renovations, one a sign, one elevator equipment. No new business licenses turned up in the data. The October figure dwarfs anything typical for the neighborhood, but whatever it represented isn't explained here.
