Description

Northside Institutions Neighborhood Alliance (NINA) asked for assistance identifying problem properties including crime hot-spots or sources of blight before they affect the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood. Kevin’s research explored the density of blight in specified neighborhoods and explored whether abandoned vehicles were a predictor or indicator of a blighted neighborhood. This process will help NINA engage property owners in repairing their properties before substantial community and governmental investment of resources becomes necessary.
