No footing under brick steps.

Top riser is 13 1/2" high. Rought iron has pulled out of bottom tread. We tore these off and started over during our rehabilitation work.

Looks like a mighty new building to be in rehab process.

Is this a CDBG program?

I would guess it to be 1960s based on the hardwood floors and railing type--that was common look here then.

Built in 2000. Not CDBG, but NSP. Neighborhood Stabilization Program. (Pretty much all the same.........)

NSP is HUD money?

I inspected and wrote a lot of CDBG housing rehab work before the lead requirements made local admin throw up hands and give up.

I looked at rehab this way: better to put govt dollars into something grassroots and tangible like fixing people's houses than throwing it down the hole of some foreign adventure trying to bribe enough foreign locals to support "interests".
