In this FAQ video, Director of IT and Research, Michael Schramm explains that the Cuyahoga Land Bank has an in-house database called the Property Profile System (PPS) that contains current information on all properties in its inventory. This system is linked to our public website. Contractors also have access to this system so that they can log in, fill out a form, submit pictures and verify they have completed their job. The Cuyahoga Land Bank also works with the Case Western Reserve University Center on Urban Poverty and their data system – NEO CANDO – to monitor foreclosures, property sales, demolitions, sheriff’s sales and other characteristics. This tracking helps anticipate which properties will be coming into our Land Bank inventory. Watch ‘How does the Cuyahoga Land Bank use Technology‘
