Irving Park permit value drops 88% in June

Permit value in Irving Park fell from $34.9 million in May to $4.2 million in June, an 88% drop that suggests last month's big figure came from a large project or two. The number of permits barely budged—47 in June versus 49 in May—with express permits still leading at 26. Overall 311 requests dropped 15%, though rodent complaints topped the list at 146. Crime rose 9% to 196 incidents, but violent offenses fell 16% to 51. No new businesses registered and no old ones closed.
