City Accelerates Demolition to Clear Blight | Pittsburgh News
Description
The city’s demolition program is accelerating fast, targeting over 150 properties under contract by year’s end — a massive leap from just 25 in 2024 and a rebound from the 109 permits issued in 2023. After a slowdown, momentum returned thanks to streamlined processes credited to the Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspections. With 35 demolitions already completed this year and 72 active permits, the Mayor’s early push to tackle blight is paying off — all aimed at safer, more vibrant neighborhoods.
