View Full Record
The highest-priority permits, legislation, and civic activity — pulled from today's public records.

Four-story, 119-unit project with 124 on-site parking spaces plus 50 for-hire spots. Scope includes structured parking and ground-floor amenity space.
The Transportation and Mobility Committee wraps months of deliberation on whether to redevelop or preserve hundreds of acres of prime Cleveland waterfront.
An emergency ordinance would allocate 50% of cannabis legalization revenues to Cleveland's Neighborhood Equity Fund — a new dedicated stream for ward-level investment.
Emergency resolution to create a new Special Improvement District for the arts corridor, accepting property owner petitions and appointing a board of directors.
A former daycare at 2860 East 130th Street is becoming the Trade's Master Institute — a nonprofit construction trades school serving Cleveland's workforce pipeline.
Ground-floor commons, restrooms, and student areas of this four-story first-year housing building at 10900 Euclid Ave are getting a full upgrade.
Adaptive reuse at 3500 Lorain Avenue: first floor converts to a dog health and wellness retail store, second floor remains residential. $150K renovation.
An emergency resolution filed April 16 formally opposes a new C2 beer-and-wine permit at 3315 Clark Avenue in the city's largest Hispanic neighborhood. The council objection triggers a mandatory state hearing before any permit is issued.
Cleveland introduced emergency legislation to temporarily halt new data center development — mirroring Avon's recent freeze — while planners study grid load, water consumption, and land-use impacts of large-scale tech infrastructure across residential and commercial corridors.
A comprehensive short-term rental ordinance — covering registration, inspections, and neighbor notification — is moving forward as Council fields growing complaints about party houses and absentee landlords converting residential properties to nightly rentals.

A commercial buildout is transforming a Clark-Fulton storefront into CentroVilla25 — a new Latino cultural and business hub in Cleveland's largest Hispanic neighborhood, opening alongside council debate over a nearby DORA entertainment zone.
Berges LLC refiled a $6 million permit for a new apartment building at 2024 East 70th Street, picking up where a prior application left off. The site sits in the Hough/Central corridor, where residential investment has been slowly accelerating.
Organizers filed a temporary special event permit for the 18th Annual Larchmere PorchFest on June 13, 2026. The permit covers a beer garden in an existing parking lot along the Larchmere antiques and dining corridor — one of Cleveland's most popular neighborhood music festivals.
AmTrust Financial filed a $200,000 permit to demolish the interior of two floors of its tenant suite at 1300 East 9th Street. The scope suggests a significant space reduction or reconfiguration at one of downtown Cleveland's major office towers.
The Cleveland Streets Department is replacing aging wood and shingle roofs on four salt dome storage sites citywide, starting at 4150 South Marginal Road. The $400,000 project installs new lightweight metal roofing systems across all locations.
CMSD filed the construction permit for a brand-new Lincoln-West at 3202 W 30th St — demolishing the existing building. One of the largest permits filed in Cleveland this year.
Emergency ordinance authorizes land exchanges between the city and Cleveland schools to unlock future redevelopment — directly tied to the Lincoln-West rebuild and district-wide site work.
An emergency ordinance would establish a Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) where patrons can carry open drinks from participating businesses within a defined zone.
Cleveland would test new parking meter zone rules along Hingetown's Detroit Ave commercial strip under a pilot program amending the 2023 parking ordinance.
The national discount closeout chain filed a $325K build-out permit for 3230 W 65th St, adding a new retail anchor to the West Side corridor.
