Vacant and Abandoned Building Finder

The Vacant and Abandoned Building Finder is a tool for helping people and organizations find buildings in Chicago that are not in use and potentially hazardous to the neighborhood around them. Users can find buildings that are open and unsecured, have fire damage, or are in use by non-residents (gangs, children, homeless, etc). Users can also search around an address or intersection and by the date the building was reported. On the right side the buildings are potted on a map of Chicago. Each point is clickable and will show you details about when the building was reported, where on the lot it is located, where an open entry point is (if any) as well as a picture of the building itself (courtesy of Google's street view). Additionally, there is a list of resources anyone can use to find more information on the building, or to provide an updated report to 311.
