Code Enforcement
Little Italy Redevelopment works in partnership
with the City of Cleveland on housing code enforcement. It is the responsibility
of each property
owner to maintain their property in compliance with Cleveland Building
and Housing codes. If a property owner is cited by the building and housing
department for a code violation, several programs exist to assist residents
in fixing these violations. A summary of loan programs which are available
for home improvement are listed in the following chart.
