Buffalo News - Vacancy Data Base

The image “http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3296/3050907041_a9b004b061.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
I'd forgotten about the vacant properties database the Buffalo News compiled recently - right here. You can search properties by street, street number and property type. Results are displayed in a modifed spreadsheet.

The only down side at this point is that the results aren't displayed in a graphically interesting way and lack the searchableness of a google map mash-up. If anyone has more information about some of the metrics used in compiling this database and whether it's updated on a continual basis, let me know.

Just how helpful is this?

hm. I frequent this list, which the city seems to update fairly frequently: www.ci.buffalo.ny.us/files/1_2_1/city_departments/real_estate/residential_catalog.pdf

Great find Dave. A "must have" for anyone interested in the City!

Thanks!
