Definitions (of the Real Property Tax Law of New York State):"Parcel" means a separately assessed lot, parcel, piece or portion of real property, except publicly owned bridges and land used for street, road, highway or parkway purposes.

For more information on parcels, see the "Parcel" feature class in the RPS_Parcels feature dataset that is maintained by the Monroe County Real Property Services (RPS) department from which this layer was created.

This map is made using content created and owned by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (Esri user HUD.Official.Content). The map uses their Low to Moderate Income Population by Tract layer, filtered for only census tracts in Monroe County, NY where at least 51% of households earn less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The map is centered on Rochester, NY, with the City of Rochester, NY border added for context. Users can zoom out to see the Revitalization Areas for the broader county region.The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program requires that each CDBG funded activity must either principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or meet a community development need having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and other financial resources are not available to meet that need. With respect to activities that principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, at least 51 percent of the activity's beneficiaries must be low and moderate income. For CDBG, a person is considered to be of low income only if he or she is a member of a household whose income would qualify as "very low income" under the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments program. Generally, these Section 8 limits are based on 50% of area median. Similarly, CDBG moderate income relies on Section 8 "lower income" limits, which are generally tied to 80% of area median. These data are derived from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey (ACS) and based on Census 2010 geography.Please refer to the Feature Layer for date of last update.Data Dictionary: DD_Low to Moderate Income Populations by Tract

This web map depicts the lead high risk areas within Rochester, NY.What is the Rochester lead law? What properties are affected by the lead law?In December 2005, the City of Rochester adopted a local Lead Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Ordinance that requires inspections for lead paint hazards as an extension of the city’s existing inspection processes (Certificate of Occupancy, complaints, referrals, etc.), which applies to rental units within the City limits. This law went into effect on July 1, 2006.Most pre-1978 rental properties in the City of Rochester that require a Certificate of Occupancy are covered by this law. What does it mean that a property is within a high risk area?The lead ordinance requires that City designate high risk area, reflecting properties recorded with historic elevated blood lead level data and the recommendations of the Monroe County Department of Public Health to be classified with this designation. Properties in these high risk areas are subject to additional inspection requirements and a separate citation, violation, and clearance process.What is the City doing in regard to these high risk areas?Since the passage of the lead ordinance, the City has conducted over 100,000 lead inspections, including inspections of every residential dwelling unit within the high risk areas. For up-to-date reports on this effort, please see the lead program page on the Department of Neighborhood and Business Development website.
