Columbus buildings the city just ordered fixed.
Inspectors already walked these buildings and wrote up the work: outside repairs, fire and storm damage, smoke detectors. The owner has to hire someone. Fixablock puts them on your phone by 7am, sorted for your trade.

What Columbus orders fixed.
Columbus's records say where the work is, not which trade: outside the house, a smoke detector, or an unsafe-building order after a fire, a car or a storm. Fixablock lists those under general repair as “Exterior repair, trade not stated”, never under porch, roofing, masonry or windows. Homes only: orders on shops, warehouses and empty lots are left out. New-home, demolition and pool permits bring fencing, gutter, solar and insurance leads. In the 30 days to October 3, 2026, the city ordered work on 273 buildings:
- 165General repair, trade not stated
- 90Fencing
- 84Insurance
- 72Gutters
- 72Solar
- 18Fire safety
- 6Electrical
Buildings with a new order or permit in those 30 days; one building can count under several trades. On any morning about 430 Columbus exterior and unsafe-building orders are open, older ones included. No porch, roofing, masonry or window leads: the City doesn't name them.
We found the owner of record for 97% of these buildings in the Franklin County Auditor's parcel records (condo units get none: the association owns the outside). Paid plans show the owner's name and mailing address.

Columbus code enforcement orders, building orders and building permits come from the City of Columbus’s open data (opendata.columbus.gov, Department of Building & Zoning Services). In the City’s words, “This data is dedicated to the public domain under the Creative Commons Universal License (CC0).” The City says its open data “is made available as a public service and for reference purposes only” and “is provided on an “AS IS” basis without any warranty, whether implied or expressed.” The City’s records say where an order is (outside the house, a smoke detector) but not which trade it needs, so Fixablock labels those orders “trade not stated”. Owner names and mailing addresses come from the Franklin County Auditor’s parcel records. In the Auditor’s words, “Users of this data are notified that the primary information source should be consulted for verification of the information contained on this site. The county and vendors assume no legal responsibilities for the information contained on this site.”
