North Park permit value hits $1.8M in December

North Park logged $1.8 million in construction permits in December, up 352% from November's $397k. The spike came from at least one big-ticket project among the month's ten permits, which included a new-construction job. Four permits came through the express program, four were renovation/alteration work, and one was for signage. Service requests dropped 14%, crime fell 16%, and violent offenses were down a third. Snow complaints topped the 311 board with 48 reports, trailed by potholes and ice removal requests. No businesses opened or closed.
