Chicago Historic Resources Survey - Red and Orange Buildings - KML
data.cityofchicago.org | Last Updated 2012-08-13T14:22:00.000ZThe Chicago Historic Resources Survey (CHRS), completed in 1995, was a decade-long research effort by the City of Chicago to analyze the historic and architectural importance of all buildings, objects, structures, and sites constructed in the city prior to 1940. During 12 years of field work and follow-up research that started in 1983, CHRS surveyors identified approximately 9,900 properties which were considered to have some historic or architectural importance. Please note that this CHRS dataset is limited and does not include the entire survey: 1. A color-coded ranking system was used to identify historic and architectural significance relative to age, degree of external physical integrity, and level of possible significance. This dataset only includes buildings identified with the two highest color codes: "Red" and "Orange." Buildings and structures coded "Red" or "Orange" (unless designated as a Chicago Landmark or located within a Chicago Landmark District) are subject to the City of Chicago’s Demolition-Delay Ordinance (link to: http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/dcd/supp_info/demolition_delay.html), adopted by City Council in 2003. 2. Only buildings are included in this dataset; structures and objects such as bridges, park structures, monuments and mausoleums, generally are not represented. Likewise, garages, coach houses, and other secondary structures associated with a building may not be consistently depicted or color-coded. If an “Orange”- or “Red”-rated building was demolished after 2008, it may still appear in the map. The CHRS occasionally rated only part of a building or part of a group of joined buildings as “Orange” or “Red;” however the entire building or group of joined buildings may be incorrectly identified as “Orange” or “Red.” Additional information about the CHRS is available at www.cityofchicago.org/Landmarks/ or by contacting the Historic Preservation Division at (312) 744-3200.

MAPPED LOCATION: Contains latitude/longitude coordinates of the site as determined through the Chicago Open Data Portal’s geocoding engine. In instances where the facility address is a range, the lower number (the value in the “Street Number From” column) is used for geocoding. For example, for the range address 1000-1005 S Wabash Ave, the Mapped Location would be the coordinates for 1000 S Wabash Ave. APPLICATION TYPE: "ABOVEGROUND STORAGE TANK" Permits to install or remove an Above Ground Storage Tank (AST) for dispensing and non-dispensing with a volume greater than 110 gallons. For more information go to https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/cdph/provdrs/healthy_communities/svcs/apply_for_an_abovegroundstoragepermit.html.

Smart Green Infrastructure Monitoring Sensors - Historical
data.cityofchicago.org | Last Updated 2018-05-02T20:26:48.000ZThis dataset is historical-only. -- Results from a 2017-2018 project of City-installed sensors measuring water runoff from streets and sidewalks. These data can be used to measure the impact of sustainable green infrastructure on flooding. These sensors also captured weather data. Each row corresponds to a sensor measurement at a specific time and location. Each row is a different sensor, which can be determined from the "Measurement Title" column. The value for each measurement is always numeric and available in the "Measurement Value" column. The corresponding unit of measurement is in the "Units" column. Data may be missing at times due to sensors not being available.
