Rogers Park permit value crashes 96% in November

Permit value in Rogers Park fell from $7.5 million in October to $313,000 in November—a 96% drop. The 24 permits issued were mostly express permits (19 of them), suggesting routine work rather than big projects. Permit count itself dipped only 17%, so the collapse is all about scope. No new business licenses, no closures. October's hefty figure likely came from one or two large jobs that didn't repeat.
