City In Review: Chicago

Lincoln Park · 2026-05

Lincoln Park permits and 311 calls drop to zero

May's data shows zeroes across the board — no building permits filed after April's 29 (worth $3.8 million), no 311 service requests after 1,144 the month before, no crime incidents logged. Ten business licenses did issue: Dollop Coffee Co. and North Buena Deli & Wine opened as retail food spots, and BP and J&R Liquor & Food picked up tobacco licenses. The rest of the reporting pipeline went silent.
