You can look at who owns the building. The zoning of the property. The shape of the property. How far you are from various attractions. It's being able to check the legitimacy of what someone tells you.

When someone calls you up and says, 'I got a great apartment in such and such a place,' you can go right to a particular block on our map and see the property relative to a subway station, relative to where you work.

We need to have stronger zoning codes and building codes, and we need to enforce them.

The property owner still owns the property and can still live there, but restrictions are in place, and they are tailored to the specific problems.

The landlord owns the property and ought to be maintaining it in such a way that it is not depreciating in value. If it needs painted it ought to be painted. If trees need to be trimmed, they are trimmed.

Our building inspector is the zoning administrator for the city. He also went out and viewed all of the properties identified and provided his input as to the recommended zoning.
