Cleveland survey of 167,000 city homes and structures hopes to finally reduce city blight issues

CLEVELAND — Jackie Adams is a Cleveland grandmother who believes hazardous, vacant and condemned homes are one city's leading neighborhood safety issues, so she's hoping the ongoing city property survey will have a positive impact.

According to the Cleveland Property Survey, more than 167,000 homes and structures in the city of Cleveland were looked at for 50 different data points. Cleveland Building and Housing Director Sally Martin believes that the survey will make a difference and help direct millions in neighborhood renovation and demolition funds.

"So, what do the sidewalks look like? What do the fire hydrants look like? What is the condition of the street trees?” Martin said."Where do we need to deploy resources to make the biggest difference?” Eric Elmi, chief Cleveland Building Inspector of Main Streets, told News 5 each property will be given a grade from A to F and will be evaluated based on the 50 survey questions. These answers will guide inspectors to suggest property repairs or perhaps later lead to homeowner code citations.
