Scan the Block · for developer or builder

The parcel's constraints, before the architect bills.

Zoning and use from the county's roll, lot size and what is on it, the federal flood zone, the permit history on the parcel and every permit filed on the blocks around it — the feasibility questions that decide whether a deal is a deal, answered from Cleveland's own layers in the order due diligence asks them.

The questions it answers

The sections that earn their keep

The building on the county rollCuyahoga County's certified value, its land use, floor area, lot size and the year the county records it as built. Where the value is abated the gross, the abated part and the taxable remainder are all shown — Cleveland abates widely, and the taxable figure alone makes a building look a third of its certified worth.
Mapped hazardsThe federal flood zone with the panel it came off, and the USGS record of what has actually shaken nearby. Ohio publishes no state fault-zone or liquefaction map, so those boxes are absent rather than empty.
The building's permitsEvery filing on the parcel back to the earliest on record, with open items flagged.
What is coming nearbyWho else is already entitled within a radius — your comps for what gets approved here.
Mapped wetlandsWhether the federal inventory maps a wetland where the parcel stands. Filling or building on one engages the Clean Water Act, and it is the gate that decides a schedule before an architect has drawn anything.
Work permitted in the street outsideEvery street-use permit in force around the parcel, grouped by job rather than by block face, with the window each runs for — what the street is already committed to before you apply for your own.
The EPA's compliance recordWhat the agency holds a record for on the surrounding blocks, and how much of it is out of compliance — the neighbours a phase one will ask about.
