City In Review: Chicago

Montclare · 2024-08

Montclare permit value jumps 4,300% on single project

Eight permits in August, same as July, but the total value shot from $8,000 to $360,000. Seven were express permits; one renovation or alteration drove most of that dollar swing. Service requests dropped 54%, down to 333 from 722 the month before—abandoned vehicles and tree debris led the list. Crimes fell slightly, violent offenses down from 16 to 13. Three food inspections failed, up from zero in July.
