Clintonville's bungalows, Tudors, colonials, and Cape Cods were mostly built between the 1910s and the 1950s, and their basements reflect it. Expect older block, brick, or stone foundations, lower ceilings, steep stairways, and often a mix of old and newer plumbing and wiring. Lots are narrow and tree-covered, which can complicate digging an egress window well. Homes on sloped lots near the ravines deserve a careful look at drainage, so moisture assessment comes first. Because Clintonville is part of Columbus, permits go through the city's Department of Building and Zoning Services.
