City Sponsored Community Meeting on Home Inspections

6/18/2014

 
The City hosted another community meeting last night in response to the issues we raised on April 29th. This one was held at the (thankfully!) air-conditioned and accessible CH Community Center on Monticello at Mayfield. 

Rick Wagner, CH Housing Director, offered us statistics which I had requested.  All these statistics are for the Noble area of Cleveland Heights - east of Taylor and north of Mayfield.

There are:
4433 Single and two-family homes in total
54 Apartments which contain 624 units in total

1244 of the single and two-family homes are rentals which is 28% of the total
218 of the single and two-family homes residents use public assistance vouchers, about 5% of the total and 17.5 % of the rentals.  There are about 750 voucher users city-wide.
96 of the apartments are rented with public assistance vouchers, just over 15% of the total apartment units.

320 of the houses are vacant, according to quarterly post office reports, just over 7%
71 lots are vacant

1420 houses were foreclosed since 2005, about a third of our houses in almost 10 years
235 were foreclosed in the peak year of 2012
70 have been foreclosed in the first 5 1/2 months of 2014.

Rick also discussed a new mobile phone app which the city has launched, Access Cleveland Heights, through which we can report problems to the city.  We have the option to upload a photo, too.  The app also has a variety of links to other city information including a calendar, ordinances and council member contacts.  In the first few days after the launch, several residents have reported tall grass, debris, potholes and water main breaks on public and private properties.  We can view all these postings and the city's progress through the app.

Police Chief Jeff Robertson reported statistics for crimes against property for "Block M," the police-designated zone that is north of Monticello and east of Taylor.  He also offered tips on keeping our homes and cars more safe and less tempting to criminals.  Ready Notify is a county alert system which delivers messages to our phones.  The city web site has links to access this service.  We can also sign up through Access Cleveland Heights.  People who already have signed up for Ready Notify tell us that they received notifications for Mayfield Road closings. 

Check the Cleveland Heights web site for several more city programs and events that are coming up this summer. Personally, I need to borrow a friend's young son so I have a good excuse to go to the "Fun with Trucks" event on June 22.  What could be more fun than climbing in a street sweeper and a garbage truck?
