South Lawndale data drops to zero across permits, 311, crime

South Lawndale's May numbers fell to zero in every category tracked — permits (from 11), 311 requests (from 723), and reported crimes (from 20, including four violent incidents the month before). The lone recorded activity: a BP tobacco license. The across-the-board collapse suggests a data-collection gap rather than an actual quiet month.
