Warwick Allerton Hotel picks up four licenses
The Warwick Allerton Hotel Chicago grabbed four licenses in May: retail food, two for consumption on premises, and a regulated business permit. Sixty-four new business licenses landed across the neighborhood, down 38% from April's 103. Avec River North got food and liquor approvals. RPM Steak and Arbella picked up amusement licenses. Permits, service requests, and crime reports all hit zero for the month—91 permits worth $30.8 million in April, 581 service requests, 52 crimes. The across-the-board flatline points to a reporting gap, not a genuine pause.
