Quick Summary:
This property is a single-family residence of approximately 2,780 sq. ft. on 0.55 acres, built circa 1900. It contains six bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with a kitchen, living room, utility room, storage room, and master bedroom on the first floor, and five bedrooms with a full bath on the second floor.
The home has significant structural and code deficiencies that must be corrected to meet RCNYS and local code standards. The metal roof was improperly installed, allowing bat intrusion through openings in the fascia. Heat is not evenly distributed across both floors, the electrical system is outdated, windows are inoperable or inefficient, siding is incomplete, and the attached porch is deteriorated and unsafe. The chimney is no longer in use and will be removed to the roofline and capped.
This scope addresses all identified health, safety, and code compliance issues, including: wildlife exclusion, full roof replacement, fascia/soffit repairs, new egress doors and windows, siding and insulation upgrades, stair reconstruction, electrical system replacement, whole-house heat pump installation, and installation of code-required smoke and CO detectors.
Upon completion, the home will meet or exceed all applicable RCNYS, NEC, and local code requirements, with improved structural safety, energy efficiency, and habitability.
