Exterior

The front (east side) of the building is incomplete.  Obviously, a stair is needed to the front door.  There is a steel I beam extending from the brick.  It was probably designed to carry a porch.  There is also a low foundation wall in front of the house that was meant to support a porch.

This is an extremely large single family home.

The windows are new, the vinyl siding is new, and even the foundation walls appear new.  The MLS listing says that the building was built in 1888.  The only evidence of this at the basement and first floor is a fireplace. 

There is a temporary door and stairs for construction on the north side of the building.

These are Trussjoist brand manufactured wood beams meant to support an exterior porch.  These joists are not meant to be outside, especially not protected from the rain.  They have been damage and need to be replaced with a different material.

The electric service is new.

A rear deck was meant to be built. The concrete driveway is not wide enough.  More conrete needs to be poured.

The garage is probably 50 years old.  Its roof looks new.  There is a workshop built off the north side of the garage; it is not built to code and needs to be torn down.

There is a building permit posted in the window.  The bank who owns the property has the drawings.  I'm making arrangements to view them.
