An exterior housing inspection of all property on selected streets will be made this spring. This systematic inspection program is an important means in achieving the goals of the City Strategic Plan as it relates to maintaining and enhancing the quality of life, safety and the property values of our neighborhoods.

The exterior of approximately 1/6 of the City's homes are visually inspected each year to assure upkeep of housing stock.  Residents are notified of any problems which need to be corrected and given adequate time to correct any deficiencies.   Some of the items checked include: gutters, downspouts, masonry, sidewalks, driveways, aprons, siding, paint, windows, garages and general cleanliness. A complete inspection checklist is available from the Building Department or as a PDF listed below.

Residents of streets scheduled for inspection this spring will be mailed detailed information regarding the inspection programs.

If you have any questions regarding the Exterior Inspection Program, please do not hesitate to contact the Building Department at (216) 381-0400 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.  We will be glad to assist you.
