Quarterly Report
Inventory Department 1 The Inventory Department is responsible for the management of all properties while in Land Bank ownership. This includes the acquisitions of property by the DLBA, whether from private or public sources, as well as the physical maintenance of the property. The Inventory Department is responsible for the assessment and placement of inventory into “pipelines” including Demolition, Legal (Quiet Title), and Dispositions sales programs. The Inventory Department supports DLBA programs with data analysis and ability to sort and map all properties by type, location, condition and other factors. It also provides assistance to the City’s economic development efforts. Future Inventory programs may include data analysis and support to the City for land assembly, whether for Blue/Green Infrastructure projects for storm water management, economic development, or another use.

As always, we are balancing the immense amount of requests with our current resources to handle as many resident concerns as possible. The Detroit Land Bank Authority is preparing a Tree Removal RFQ to manage the removal and cleanup of dead trees on DLBA properties. The Detroit Land Bank Authority will be reissuing the Property Maintenance and Preservation Professionals RFQ during the first half of 2017.
