A permit to erect three dwelling units will plug a small gap on West Fulton Boulevard in the East Garfield Park neighborhood.

It comes through with a reported cost of $400,000. The vacant parcel, improved only with a rear concrete slab, has been used recently for parking.

Both permits show application start dates of January 29, and they each came through with reported costs of $500,000 apiece.
