Portage Park permits, crime reports hit zero in May
May's city data for Portage Park recorded zero building permits, zero 311 service requests, and zero crimes—a sharp drop from April's 20 permits worth $4.1 million. Eleven new business licenses did appear: J.J. Peppers Food grabbed tobacco, package goods, and retail food permits; Li Hing Inc registered as a retail food establishment; and Dispo and BP both filed for tobacco licenses. Whether the zeroes reflect a data gap or an actual lull isn't clear from the payload.
