Renovation work undertaken by the Cuyahoga Land Bank involves rehabilitating existing structures. These properties are often acquired in distressed conditions due to abandonment or neglect. The Land Bank invests in comprehensive renovations (called “modernizations”), addressing structural issues, updating mechanical systems, and improving interior and exterior aesthetics. The goal is to restore these properties to a habitable and marketable condition, either for affordable housing or for resale to new homeowners at market rate.
