The Department of Codes & Regulations recently launched new public-facing dashboards to give residents a clearer look at the work happening across the city. These dashboards make it easier to quickly find helpful information, including whether a property is scheduled for inspection, whether a home has a permit for construction work, or whether a vacant property is scheduled for cutting and cleaning.

Each dashboard webpage includes navigation tips, page descriptions, and definitions to help residents better understand the information available. Explore the dashboards here and see how Codes & Regulations is working every day to support safer, cleaner, and stronger neighborhoods.
