City In Review: Chicago

Roseland · 2025-03

Roseland permit value triples to $2M

Roseland logged 48 permits in March, up 85% from February, with total value jumping 226% to just over $2 million. Thirty-four of those permits came through the city's express program, which fast-tracks simple work. Eight were renovation or alteration jobs. The data doesn't show what drove the spike—no major projects are itemized—but the dollar figure is the highest in months. No new business licenses or closures appeared in the official records.
