Irving Park permit count up 26%, total value drops 60%
Irving Park pulled 59 permits in July, up from 47 the month before. But total dollar value fell hard—from $8.7 million to $3.5 million. Most of the bump came from express permits (39 of the 59), which tend to run smaller. Twelve renovation-or-alteration permits rounded out the activity. No new business licenses or closures showed up in the data.
