Neighborhood scan

Tom Moloney enters data on a home near 49th Street and Cleveland Avenue into a hand-held computer as he works on the Lincoln Community Scan project on May 12, 2011. Volunteers have started a block-by-block effort to blanket Lincoln's oldest neighborhoods evaluating and logging the condition of properties. (ERIC GREGORY / Lincoln Journal Star)

Neighborhood scan

Trash, weeds and overgrown grass fill a yard at 4604 Madison Ave., a property which the Lancaster County Register of Deeds website lists as being in default. This is the sort of property that volunteer Tom Moloney hopes to address through the efforts of the Lincoln Neighborhood Scan. The city hopes the effort will point out the best places for its money and resources when it comes to cleaning up problem properties. (ERIC GREGORY / Lincoln Journal Star)

Neighborhood scan

Tom Moloney enters data on a home near 49th Street and Cleveland Avenue into a hand-held computer as he works on the Lincoln Community Scan project on May 12, 2011. Volunteers have started a block-by-block effort to blanket Lincoln's oldest neighborhoods evaluating and logging the condition of properties. (ERIC GREGORY / Lincoln Journal Star)

Trash, weeds and overgrown grass fill a yard at 4604 Madison Ave., a property which the Lancaster County Register of Deeds website lists as being in default. This is the sort of property that volunteer Tom Moloney hopes to address through the efforts of the Lincoln Neighborhood Scan. The city hopes the effort will point out the best places for its money and resources when it comes to cleaning up problem properties. (ERIC GREGORY / Lincoln Journal Star)

Malinda Burk, president of the University Place Community Organization, uses a handheld device to record information as she walks and assesses properties. (ROBERT BECKER / Lincoln Journal Star)
