Geotechnical report (Geotechnical professional (signed, sealed, insured; PE not required in the City); reviewed by City Planning at site plan review and by PLI at permit)
1 mapped slope-movement area(s) within 300 ft (1982 inventory: old slides, creep, fill). Not a code trigger by itself, but officials may ask for a soils investigation (IRC R401.4; PLI guidance).
ⓘ 1 of the nearby mapped slope-movement areas involve red beds (landslide-prone claystone, USGS Professional Paper 1229). No code names red beds; an engineer's opinion is wise.

Record of zoning approval / zoning application (Zoning (Pittsburgh: OneStopPGH))
Zoned LNC. New buildings, additions, and changes of use need zoning approval.
Sources: City of Pittsburgh Zoning Districts

Can you build here?

Yes, a new single-family house is allowed by right and fits the lot's size and setback rules (under 1 month to a building permit, review time only).

Does it pencil?

We can't tell yet: it costs about $610,000 to build, but there is no value estimate.

What's in the way?

Too few recent new-home sales nearby to price a new house, so its value is not estimated.
39 valid sales and 61 completed building permits within 1/2 mile in 3 years: busier than 22% of City parcels.

What next?

Get the phase I Environmental Site Assessment from Environmental consultant.
Ask a local agent or appraiser what new homes like this sell for nearby.

Time to a permit

under 1 month Estimate

Building-permit review only (plus any zoning hearing this option needs); zoning review, site-plan, geotech, PWSA and DOMI steps are not included.

Building-permit part: the City's review target for one round (City target, not measured). Each revision request adds time.

44 building permits waiting for City review (as of 2026-09-21).

building permit: City target 21 calendar days per review round (City target, not measured)
