North Park permit value drops 89% after quiet August
Permits in North Park fell to $1 million in August, down from $9.3 million the month before—a drop driven mostly by the absence of major construction projects. The 25 permits issued were mostly express jobs, plus a handful of signs and renovations. Graffiti removal topped 311 requests with 72 calls, followed by 53 pothole complaints. Violent crime dropped 38%, from 29 incidents to 18. No new businesses opened or closed. Food inspections failed twice, half July's count.
