Metropolitan Intelligence: Housing Safety Management for Cities

Updated: Mar 16



This was a concept app used to manage housing stock in cities with a high number of older housing units. The concept was created around the use case of lead in paint, but the housing stock management aspect is designed to host information and data about any and all types of information about various building materials used over the years in order to gain control of inventory and start on remediation where funds are available.


The idea was to have permission-based views on various data sets around individual housing units so appropriate agencies and individuals would have the information they needed to keep people safe.



The idea included a wide range of mandatory attributes and processes to be associated to each housing unit. The details required for remediating housing material risks is substantial so we wanted to automate and proactively surface as much information as possible so the majority of funding could go to material remediation vs. searching for correct information and not knowing what to do about each situation.


The GTLO system would host live stats on health outcomes outcomes, status on work orders, processes for Proactive Rental Inspection programs, and any scientific data gathered during the process.



The app could also be used by constituents to take pictures of the locations where they went to work, school, and home in order to track status on work orders to fix any environmental hazards. If the situation warranted sharing the data with various reporting agencies that is a configuration option to employ.


Once someone tests their home, status lights will remain in green, yellow, and red status until certificates of remediation are complete and associated with the case in the tracking system.





The app could also present recommendations and resources for people who may have discovered the places where they are spending time may be hazardous.



Another example of hazard data could be drinking water safety results around your work, home, and schools.
