Woodlawn permits drop to $1.4M from September's $75.8M
October's $1.4 million in permit work is a sharp fall from September's $75.8 million, which likely included a major project now absent from the books. The month brought 28 permits, down 7% from 30. Seventeen were express permits, nine covered renovations. Service requests rose 12% to 652, led by 104 tree trim requests—a category the city no longer accepts. Violent crime climbed 26% to 139 incidents. One food establishment failed inspection.
