City Directories
See table below for turnaround times
The ERIS City Directory Search provides detailed historic property-use information for the site property and surrounding area with nationwide coverage with information dating back to the late 1800’s.
A city directory search is part of the mandatory records review section of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Z768 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. Relevant information is researched for the site and surrounding properties in five-year intervals. Researched at multiple libraries across Canada and from internal collections.

In certain situations, we recognize the need for a radius or site plus 5/10 street CD search. To ensure optimal service, these will be custom quoted with project-specific turnaround times and costs.
SmartCD uses the expertise of our seasoned city directory researchers, who understand the historical and regional nuances that make each city unique. Traditionally, city directory searches have been focused on the site or within a certain radius. However, this approach can yield hundreds of pages of results, leading to a lengthy and costly report that takes an excessive amount of time to complete. Hence, we’ve developed the SmartCD, a tool that streamlines this process, delivers only the data tzhat you need, and meets or exceeds the CSA Z768-01 standard for Phase I ESAs.
SmartCD simplifies the research process in three easy steps:
- Choose your Phase I Property when placing the order – no need to provide street names or address ranges.
- Our expert team pulls relevant adjoining property addresses based on your subject property boundaries, utilizing property information, historical maps, imagery, and other reliable sources.
- Enjoy the convenience of a scanned high-quality image of the directory provided in pdf output. The SmartCD brings the library to you, delivering accurate results without the risk of transcription errors. Image reports offer valuable context, including cross streets and added comments for identifying other features or nearby properties of interest.
