much needed infrastructure repairs. These include a new foundation to
replace the substandard brick foundation, new double insulated windows,
extensive drainage work on the north side to repair years of consistent
flooding to the basement, new siding on the south side, new tar and
gravel roof on the rear deck, a new patio that will be able to better

replacing rear deck stairs and landing. This upgrading and repairs will
also include some interior and exterior ADA Accessibility requirements.
