City In Review: Chicago

Hyde Park · 2025-11

Hyde Park permit value jumps to $9.9M

Hyde Park pulled $9.9 million in permits in November, nearly triple October's $3.4 million. The count actually dipped slightly—23 permits versus 25—but the dollar spike suggests a few big-ticket jobs landed. Fifteen permits came through the express program, with another eight for renovation or alteration work. No new business licenses issued, no service requests logged. What drove the value bump isn't spelled out in the permit types alone.
