Filter & search

Filter Pane

Located just below the toolbar, the filter pane displays by default when you select a theme tab or click the VIEW PARCELS button on the top right of the map.

You can combine multiple filters to narrow down properties and data you are interested in. For example: Vacant, Investor Owned, and Non-Local Owner selection would narrow the parcels down only to those that meet all three criteria.

There are three types of filters in this pane: toggle buttons, sliders, and dropdown menus.

• Toggle buttons are the black buttons that turn filters on and off for properties that match specific criteria. Hover over any button for a pop-up description of its criteria.

• Sliders: You can click and drag slider filters to change the minimum and maximum range for the Built Date and # of Living Units.

• Dropdown Menus: Click the down arrow to view these filters.

  • Land Use Category narrows down parcels on the map according to their function (ex: Residential, Commercial, Industrial). Note that Land Use Categories simplify Land Use Codes into fewer categories for easier analysis.

  • Geographic Boundary filters parcels down to a specific geographic boundary. First select the type of boundary you are interested in (ex: City Council District) and then the specific geographic area(s) you want to view (ex: Districts 1 & 2).

  

The Reset Filters button clears all filter selections.

Left Panel

You can also filter the map by interacting with the charts and categories in the lefthand panel of the screen.

You may select multiple categories at once to narrow the results even further.

In the screenshot example below, properties with two to four 311 service requests in the past year are selected, and the data about building and demolition permits reflects just these properties.

To undo these filters, you can click the circular arrow reset button at the top of the section you filtered.

Search for One Address or Owner

You can look up a specific property using the Search tool.

At the top of the lefthand pane, click the button titled "Search for an Address or Owner" and enter either an address or owner name into the textbox.

For the best results, note that owner names might be recorded as [Last Name] [First Name], instead of [First Name] [Last Name].

A list of matching search results will appear beneath the textbox. Click on your preferred location or person from the list. The selected property will be highlighted on the map with either a rectangular border or a blinking dot:

Click on it to view more information in a popup window, including data about the property owner, zoning, land use, tax assessment and appraisal, sales, evictions, recent 311 requests, and more.
