Rogers Park permit value doubles despite flat count
Rogers Park pulled 27 permits in November, one fewer than October, but their total value nearly doubled to $2.6 million—a 90% jump. Most permits came through the express program (16), with signs and renovation work tied at five each. Service requests climbed 7% to 873, led by rodent baiting (73), graffiti removal (72), and abandoned vehicles (72). Violent crime rose 18% to 99 incidents even as overall crime fell 6%. Three restaurants failed inspections, up from one the month before. No new business licenses were recorded.
