BuildingBlocks: Advanced property information data

In our work to ensure data is transparent and accessible to all, the City provides this interactive tool (“BuildingBlocks”) to search and view detailed data about properties located within the city limits, including code enforcement, ownership, and other information.  

BuildingBlocks works best on Chrome or Firefox. It will NOT work on Internet Explorer.
