Likely Public Ownership, 2013-14 (from Property Information)

Shared by noah_D3 on December 3, 2014. updated about 1 month ago.
<div>This file identifies likely public ownership based on several categorizations. These include the City of Detroit, the Detroit Land Bank Authority, the Michigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority, the State of Michigan, Wayne County, the United States Government, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, and Detroit Public Schools. The ownership information generally dates from 2013 to early 2014; see the field description metadata for further information.</div><div><br /></div><div>DISCLAIMER: This file seeks to identify parcels that are owned by a governmental or other public entity. However, ownership of properties changes frequently, particularly between public entities, and the data sources that this file is built from date from 2013 through the spring of 2014. Since there has been considerable time for the ownership of some of these properties to change, D3 is producing this file as an indicator of Likely Public Ownership.This file is intended to help highlight the breadth and scale of public ownership in the City of Detroit, and any decisions based off of this file should be confirmed through investigating legal ownership records.</div><div><br /></div><div>Metadata associated with this file includes <a href="http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/Likely_Public_Ownership/LikelyPublicOwnership_Metadata.xls" target="_blank">field description metadata</a> and a <a href="http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/Likely_Public_Ownership/LikelyPublicOwnership_Documentation_11252014_Final.pdf" target="_blank">narrative summary</a> detailing the creation of the dataset.</div><div><br /></div><div>For more information on the Motor City Mapping project, please visit www.motorcitymapping.org.</div>

Archival Tax Foreclosures in Detroit, 2002 - 2013 (from Property Information)

Shared by noah_D3 on December 16, 2014. updated about 1 month ago.
<p>Wayne County follows a relatively fixed process for initiating tax foreclosures. The county serves notice to any parcel that is more than three years delinquent on property tax payments, and these properties are then sold to the highest bidder in two auctions - one in early September, and one in October. While there have been some exceptions to this schedule (a June 2012 auction of unsold foremost among them), properties listed in the September tax auction represent a strong proxy for identifying the universe of tax-foreclosed properties.</p> <p>This file identifies parcels within the City of Detroit that were listed in the September Wayne County tax foreclosure auction in any year from 2002 through 2013. It contains information on year of foreclosure, as well as the total number of times that a property has been subject to tax foreclosure. The work to produce this dataset was conducted in September 2013, and the data were subsequently integrated into the Motor City Mapping project.</p> <p>The purpose of this file is to help provide information on how Detroit's tax foreclosure crisis has developed over time, enabling community members and decision-makers to make more informed decisions when developing strategies to combat this growing problem.</p> <p>Metadata associated with this file includes <a href="http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/WCT_TaxForeclosures/ArchivalTaxForeclosure_Metadata_Final_12152014.xls" target="_blank">field description metadata</a> and a <a href="http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/WCT_TaxForeclosures/ArchivalTaxForeclosures_Documentation_12152014_Final.pdf" target="_blank">narrative summary</a> detailing the creation of the dataset.

Brownfields (from Property Information)

Shared by noah_D3 on November 26, 2014. updated almost 4 years ago.
<p>The analyst downloaded the raw data used to develop this dataset from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). Pursuant to statutory guidelines under the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA), the DEQ is required to “post on its website an inventory of residential closures and a separate inventory of other known facilities.” For the purposes of this dataset, “residential closures”have not been included; these were submitted to the DEQ in a No Further Action Report and satisfy remediation standards for Residential Facilities. All“other known facilities” available are included in the Inventory of Facilities dataset that serves as the foundation for this layer.</p><p><br /></p> <p></p> <p>The Inventory of Facilities includes all locations where there have been a release of hazardous substances as defined under multiple subsets of NREPA. Although this list is commonly referred to as Brownfields, it can contain other types of designations including but not limited to: Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST), Baseline Environmental Site Assessments (BEAs) and Environmental Site Assessments. Each of these designations requires further action, and the sites are pursuing cleanup in conjunction with the DEQ. </p><p><br /></p> <p></p> <p>It is also important to mention that this inventory does not necessarily include every facility that is subject to NREPA’s guidelines, since owners are not required to inform the DEQ about the facilities and can pursue cleanup independently. Facilities that are not known to the DEQ are not on the inventory, nor are locations with releases that resulted in little or no environmental impact.</p><p><br /></p><p>Metadata associated with this file includes <a href="http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/Brownfields/Metadata_Brownfields_1113.xls" target="_blank">field description metadata</a> and a <a href="http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/Brownfields/Narrative_Brownfields1113_11262014.pdf" target="_blank">narrative summary</a> detailing the creation of this dataset.</p><p><br /></p><p>For more information about the Motor City Mapping project, please visit www.motorcitymapping.org.</p>

Vacancy Index, November 2014 (Aggregated) (from Data Driven Detroit Data Portal)

Shared by noah_D3 on December 30, 2014. updated almost 4 years ago.
<div> <p>The D3 vacancy index was designed to provide a more nuanced assessment of structural vacancy than the "occupied/unoccupied/maybe" categories used in the Motor City Mapping windshield survey. The dataset includes several sources, including Motor City Mapping, utility data, and other resources to create a score evaluating the occupancy status of a parcel. These values are then coded as "Likely Occupied", "Potentially Vacant", "Likely Vacant", and "Very Likely Vacant", helping to show a spectrum of vacancy across Detroit.</p> <p>Because the vacancy index incorporates proprietary data sources, D3 is unable to release the raw values of the index to the public at the address level. To allow the public to obtain some of the benefit from this highly-effective tool, however, D3 aggregated this data to the Census Tract level. This file allows Detroit's policymakers and community members to track vacancy across the city using data that is as up-to-date as possible.</p><p>Metadata associated with this file includes <a href="http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/Vacancy_Index_Aggregation/Metadata_VacancyIndexAggregation.xls" target="_blank">field description metadata</a> and a <a href="http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/Vacancy_Index_Aggregation/VacancyCount_Aggregated_Documentation_Final_12302014.pdf" target="_blank">narrative summary</a> documenting the creation of the dataset.</p></div>

NESHAP Notifications Tied To Demolition Activity, January 2009 to April 2015 (from Data Driven Detroit Data Portal)

Shared by noah_D3 on April 30, 2015. updated almost 4 years ago.
<p>NESHAP is a program of the United States Environmental Protection Agency that regulates hazardous air pollutants and ensures that construction and demolition activities are in compliance with federal regulations. As a part of this program, the State of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) requires notification from all contractors conducting alterations (either rehabilitation or demolition) on structures that have the potential to contain a hazardous substance such as lead or asbestos, regardless of whether the structure is actually found to contain the hazardous material. Because of this requirement, NESHAP notifications are an excellent proxy for identifying structures that have been demolished.</p> <p>This dataset contains information on NESHAP notifications that have been identified as tied to demolition activity. The notifications date from 2009 through April, 2015, and have been sourced from the MDEQ's website as well as several tables obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. The data contain information on the contractors for each demolition, the start and end date for the notification, and whether the property was surveyed as a residential structure in the 2009 Detroit Residential Parcel Survey.</p> <p>Metadata associated with this file includes <a href="http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/NESHAP_2009_to_2014/NESHAP_Metadata_Final_04302015.xls" target="_blank">field description metadata</a> and a <a href="http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/NESHAP_2009_to_2014/NESHAP_Documentation_Final_04302015.pdf" target="_blank">narrative summary</a> detailing the creation of the dataset.</p> <p>The work to produce this file fell under the Motor City Mapping project.

Motor City Mapping, Enhanced File (October 1st Survey Results) (from Data Driven Detroit Data Portal)

Shared by noah_D3 on November 24, 2014. updated almost 4 years ago.
<div> <p>In the fall of 2013, the Detroit Blight Removal Task Force commissioned Data Driven Detroit (D3), the Michigan Nonprofit Association, and LOVELAND Technologies to complete a survey of every parcel in the City of Detroit. This effort, called Motor City Mapping, leveraged relationships with the Rock Ventures family of companies and the Detroit Employment Solutions Corporation to assemble a dedicated team of over 200 resident surveyors, drivers, and quality control associates. From December 4, 2013, to February 16, 2014, the team collected data on over 370,000 properties, including information on use and condition of structures, fire damage, boarding, and the presence of dumping. This dataset formed the centerpiece of the Blight Removal Task Force's report, "Every Neighborhood has a Future...and It Doesn't Include Blight."</p> <p>Following the completion of the survey, D3 and LOVELAND have continued to collaborate on a second phase of the Motor City Mapping project, involving the build-out of a technology infrastructure intended to keep the data updated as conditions change across the city. LOVELAND issued a public release of the "Blexting" application used to conduct the initial survey, allowing Detroit's residents, workers, and community organizations to survey properties across the city. Responses, or "blexts", are reviewed by a quality-control team to ensure that the information is consistent with the standards set forth by D3 and LOVELAND, and then are displayed publicly on www.motorcitymapping.org. This file consists of the most recent "blext" for each parcel through October 1, 2014, the date that responsibility for surveying and quality control transitioned from D3 to LOVELAND.</p> <p>In addition to the MCM dataset, D3 has enhanced this file with several other datasets, including 2014 tax foreclosures and delinquency, likely public ownership, and building footprint information. The tax foreclosure data flags properties that were likely headed to Tax Foreclosure as of August, 2014, while the tax delinquency data dates to June, 2014. Likely public ownership identifies properties identified by one of several sources as being owned by a public entity as of 2013/2014, while the building footprint information has been aggregated to parcel and dates to 2008.</p> <p>Metadata accompanying this dataset includes <a href="http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/MCM_Enhanced_10012014/Metadata_MCM_Enhanced_10012014.xls" target="_blank">field description metadata</a> and a <a href="http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/MCM_Enhanced_10012014/MCM_10012014_Enhanced_Documentation_11242014.pdf" target="_blank">narrative document</a> describing the process of creating the final file.</p> <p>We look forward to seeing how this data can lead to a deeper understanding of Detroit!

Hardest Hit Fund Areas, with Expansion (from Data Driven Detroit Data Portal)

Shared by noah_D3 on December 29, 2014. updated almost 4 years ago.
<p>The Hardest Hit Fund was first designated in 2010 to provide financial assistance to 18 states that were particularly impacted by the housing crisis that began in 2007. Michigan received nearly $500 million from this fund, which was initially intended to provide assistance to homeowners who were either unemployed or significantly underwater with their mortgage. However, given the high levels of blight in Detroit and other Michigan cities, some of the Hardest Hit Fund money was released to be used for structure demolition.</p><p><br /></p> <p>With the first phase of the program the City of Detroit received approximately $52 million, with the money to be spent by Spring 2015 in six target areas. The intent of the program was to conduct demolitions in more stable neighborhoods to ensure a higher impact of the limited funds that were available. However, these areas did not contain enough eligible properties for demolition in the time frame allotted for the money to be spent, so the Detroit Land Bank Authority expanded the Hardest Hit Fund program to include a number of other areas across Detroit. Through November 2014, the Hardest Hit Fund program has demolished nearly 2,400 structures in these targeted areas. This layer was acquired as part of Phase 2 of the Motor City Mapping project.</p><p><br /></p><p>An Excel sheet containing <a href="http://datadrivendetroit.org/web_ftp/motorcitymapping/Metadata/HHF_Areas_withExpansion/HHF_Areas_withExpansion_Metadata.xls" target="_blank">field description metadata</a> is available for download.
