Five new businesses, then nothing

Lower West Side added five businesses in May—Rocket Productions, Hondai Enterprises, Express Grill, Boost Mobile, and R R Street Co—but every other metric fell to zero. No building permits (down from 19), no 311 requests (down from 549), no reported crimes (down from 13), no food inspection failures (down from 3). April logged $478k in permit work; May's total is zero. The data doesn't say why.
