CDS conducted a structural evaluation of the home and determined that to bring the home to current building standards the roof needs to be replaced, mold remediated, HVAC system and attic insulation replaced, master bath and half bath remodeled, electrical upgraded, extensive exterior and interior repairs made, as well as exterior and interior painting done.

This project will be funded by the City’s Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Grant. Staff recommends approval.
