Chicago issues liquor and food licenses for Urban Fetes on West Ogden Avenue

Rule Changes Chicago, IL local

Two licenses dated Nov. 10 follow a failed August inspection and October re-inspection passes.

Overview

Updated 44 minutes ago

Urban Fetes Inc now holds two Chicago business licenses for 4007 W Ogden Ave: one for liquor consumption on premises and one for a retail food establishment. Both were issued Nov. 10, after a failed Aug. 20 inspection and four passing October inspection records.

The licenses are approvals, not proof that the business has every permit it needs or that it serves customers at this address. City records do not show either.

Why it matters

The licenses permit alcohol sales and prepared food service at a two-floor North Lawndale restaurant and event space listed under Urban Fetes.

Scenarios

1

Urban Fetes licenses remain active through 2027

Possible Resolves by Nov 10, 2027

Discussed by: No published forecast; the scenario follows from the city license record.

If both licenses stay active and no revocation appears, the record shows a completed licensing step for Urban Fetes at 4007 W Ogden Ave. The record would still not establish that the business is open.

2

Urban Fetes licenses lapse or are revoked before Nov. 2027

Unlikely Resolves by Nov 10, 2027

Discussed by: No published forecast; possible outcome from license status records.

If city records show revocation or expiry, the licensing step would not hold. The record would still not show whether the business opened.
