Kenwood permit value jumps to $1.6M on six filings
Six permits in January pulled $1.6 million in declared value, up more than 500% from December's $262k on nine permits. Five were express-program filings; one renovation rounded out the list. No new businesses opened or closed. Service requests dropped 4% to 308, led by 59 tree-trim tickets (a category the city no longer accepts). Crime fell 24% to 147 incidents, with violent offenses down 29% to 44. Whatever project accounts for the permit surge isn't spelled out in the data.
