City In Review: Chicago

Irving Park permit value doubles to $8.7 million

Permit value in Irving Park jumped 113 percent in June, hitting $8.7 million even as the count dipped slightly to 47. Most of that came through express permits (28 of them), which typically mean smaller interior jobs that don't require a full review. Nine renovation permits and four new construction pulls rounded out the activity. No new business licenses landed this month, and the 311 complaint tally didn't register—either a data gap or an improbably quiet stretch for service requests.
