Published by Data Driven Detroit | City of Ferndale, Michigan | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2015-05-01T14:30:00.719Z
This dataset contains the locations of all properties that have been sold by the Detroit Land Bank Authority under their side lot program. This program sells vacant lots to adjacent homeowners for a small fee in exchange for the homeowner agreeing to maintain the empty parcel. More information on the side lot program can be found here: http://www.buildingdetroit.org/our-programs/side-lot-sales/. This dataset includes information on purchasers, as well as the costs and dates for each transaction. Field description metadata are available for download to provide more detail on the specific contents of the dataset. The analyst downloaded these data in their raw format from the City of Detroit's Open Data Portal on March 31, 2015. The anaylst then geocoded the data to spatialize the properties and assign parcel IDs to the records. Finally, the analyst removed duplicate records from the database.
