City In Review: Chicago

South Deering · 2025-10

South Deering permit value jumps to $2.07M

South Deering pulled 17 permits in October, up from 12 the month before, but the real move was in dollar value: $2.07 million, more than triple September's $603k. Twelve of those permits came through the express program. No new businesses opened or closed. Service requests dropped 15 percent to 584, led by graffiti removal (60 calls) and tree debris cleanup (51). Crime ticked up slightly—164 incidents, 48 of them violent—and one food establishment failed inspection.
