North Park violent crime up 40% in November
North Park logged 21 violent crimes in November, up from 15 the month before—a 40% jump that stands out against modest drops in overall crime and service requests. Complaints about shared housing and vacation rentals led 311 calls with 43 reports, edging out graffiti removal (42) and yard waste pickup (40). Permit activity ticked up to 12 from 10, but total construction value fell a third to $397k. Eight of those permits came through the express program. No new businesses opened or closed.
