South Shore pulls 47 permits worth $1.8 million

South Shore issued 47 permits in September, down 11% from August, with a combined value of $1.78 million. Most of that—30 permits—came through the city's express program, which handles smaller jobs. Another seven were renovation or alteration permits. Elevator work accounted for five more. No new business licenses showed up in the data, and the month was otherwise quiet.
