                              INSPECTION SUMMARY

FOR : 1608 ELWOOD

The home is a single family dwelling on a corner lot sitting across the street from one of
the City owned and maintained cemeteries.

The home has been abandoned for over six months and boarded up. No attempt for
repairs have started at this point.

The front and back entry porches have been neglected from maintenance through the
years causing continual structural failure. The siding on the home continues to
deteriorate due to lack of maintenance and weather exposure. Foundation walls at this
point appear to be stable, but exposed mortar joints in block will enhance structural
problems. The roof system needs to repel/resist weather elements or continuous failure
will occur.

                               INSPECTION SUMMARY

FOR: 1168 AMBROSIA (Garage)



This is a 20 X 20 Block building. It is the only structure on the property. The roof
covering on this building has deteriorated to a point that the roof sheeting and the roof
rafters have rotted to a point that the roof is no longer structurally sound. If left exposed
to the elements the roof structure will fail
The fascia on this building is rotted away allowing birds to enter the building.
The siding on the gable ends of the building above the block walls, is exposed to the
weather and is continuing to rot away.

The block walls while cunently sound do need to be tuck pointed. There is some
evidence that water is starting to attack the block walls from the surface (not properly
painted) as well as from the failed roof above.
