Mayor William Peduto's administration is implementing a new mapping tool to make building permit and zoning information easy to search and view.
Legislation is being introduced to Pittsburgh City Council on Tuesday to purchase software and support services from "buildingeye," a firm that builds interactive city maps to track planning, permit, license and violation data.
Through the data visualization tool, residents, businesses, developers and others will be able to view and search a detailed map that shows all building and zoning data happening in every neighborhood citywide. The tool is currently used by city and county governments in San Francisco, Colorado, Oregon and elsewhere.

The Office of the City Controller is providing a free service to help citizens find unclaimed money from the City of Pittsburgh. These unclaimed funds belong to people and businesses that have failed to get money owed to them, through such means as earned income and real estate tax refunds, or City vendor payments. The City does not keep any unclaimed money.
