City In Review: Chicago

Riverdale · 2025-01

Riverdale permit value drops 99.6% after big prior month

Riverdale issued five permits in January worth $18,460 total, down from $4.5 million the month before—a 99.6% drop that suggests December's figure was driven by one or two large projects. Three of the five permits came through the city's express program. A&G Construction G.C. Inc. picked up a new regulated business license. Service requests ticked up 3.9% to 107, led by stray animal complaints and streetlight outages. Crime edged down slightly to 86 incidents.
