Kenwood adds two businesses, zero permits

Kenwood issued no building permits in May and logged no 311 service requests or reported crimes. Two businesses opened: Woodlawn Amoco DBA BP, which picked up three licenses (filling station, tobacco, and retail food), and Just Right Boating, a commercial passenger vessel operator. April had seen six permits worth $279,000 and 120 service requests, making May's silence striking.
