how we can help YOUR CITY

We leverage advanced AI to deliver timely access to data on properties, neighborhoods, and infrastructure. By analyzing vast visual datasets, we provide actionable insights for cities across departments, including code enforcement and public works. Choose from 3 simple and affordable data packages.

one time NEEDS ASSESSMENT

This is a fully automated city needs assessment. Clients get a clear picture of the housing across the city. The data allows clients to assess infrastructure quality across the city. Stack two needs assessments in two time periods to measure improvements in your city over time.

    • You would like to get started without having to go to city council.

    • You need data to present to city council on needs (more code enforcement; fixing infrastructure).

    • You do not want to commit to a subscription.

    • The raw data: images of all property and infrastructure in a file that can be merged with your existing systems.

    • Insights: list of issues for each property, for example list of code violations or quality of housing.

    • Report: a report that can be shared with constituents, including heat maps to understand the bigger picture.

    • Start by scheduling a meeting with us.

    • We deliver the data to you.

frequently asked questions

  • It is similar! But Google Street View is often outdated and cannot be used for timely assessment of properties and neighborhoods. Also, in addition to providing images, we use AI to automatically identify features of images, making the images substantially more valuable for clients.

  • Images are taken from the right-of-way; that is, we only view what can be seen from the street. We do not look into backyards and we blur out faces. We focus on photographs of the built environment.

  • We regularly drive cities and collect imagery of the built environment. We provide this data to cities, real estate and insurance companies. The data is not made public.

  • We regularly drive cities across the US. Our clients receive data at the frequency they select in our Data Packages, including one-time assessment (data is a few months old), bi-annual assessment (current data twice a year) or quarterly assessment (data four times a year). We are happy to discuss custom packages with you with greater frequencies as well.

  • For now, we decided to keep costs down for you by providing a very simple service. You receive a straightforward dataset with an image of each property (or each infrastructure element) and a spreadsheet with the issues associated with each property. This simple dataset can be integrated with most systems. No need to learn a new system.

  • Yes! We generate a summary report with maps of your city, including quality of housing, infrastructure and neighborhoods. We work with you to make sure the summary report you receive is helpful to you in your workflow. Just let us know what you need.
