City In Review: Chicago

Kenwood · 2024-09

Kenwood permit activity drops by half in September

Kenwood pulled nine permits in September, down from eighteen the month before. The $414k in declared work was dominated by five express permits—likely smaller jobs fast-tracked through the system. One elevator equipment permit and three renovation permits rounded out the rest. No new businesses opened, none closed, and the other usual metrics sat at zero. A quiet month overall.
