City In Review: Chicago

West Englewood · 2026-05

West Englewood logs zero permits, 311 calls, crime reports

West Englewood posted zeros across the board in May: no building permits after 19 in April, no 311 service requests after 494, no crime reports after 27. One tobacco license went to Damen Fuel. The simultaneous drop to zero in every category suggests a data collection or reporting issue rather than a genuine quiet month.
