Cincinnati proper spans pre-Civil-War brick rowhouses in Over-the-Rhine through 2010s infill in Northside and Pleasant Ridge. Most owner-occupied stock is 1920s-1960s with plaster or early drywall walls, basement furnaces, and partially-finished attics. The Cincinnati Arch geology under the city is fractured limestone and shale, which drives the radon and basement-moisture profile that shapes most retrofit decisions. Septic-served properties in Cincinnati are typically on lots where municipal sewer service does not reach, which means the homeowner is fully responsible for the operation, inspection, and eventual replacement of the on-site system under ORC 3718.
