ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW DRAFT <br />The homes observed to be in "fair" or "poor" condition were generally pre-1930s era cottages and <br />bungalows. Some were located on the margins of neighborhoods adjacent to industrial and/or <br />commercial uses. A number of small 1950s-era multi -family buildings were also identified as "fair". <br />These buildings appeared to be structurally sound but were in need of rehabilitation, maintenance, and <br />cosmetic improvements. <br />Conclusions <br />San Leandro's housing stock is in good condition. However, at least one-third of the City's housing stock <br />is more than 50 years old and may require more regular maintenance and repair. Some of the more recent <br />housing stock may also be in need of rehabilitation, particularly small multi -family rental buildings. <br />Programs which assist lower income and/or elderly homeowners with home maintenance and repair <br />should continue to be an important part of the City's housing program. Programs assisting apartment <br />owners with rehabilitation and maintenance also should continue. These programs should target smaller <br />(2-4 unit) complexes as well as the larger (5+ unit) complexes that have benefited in the past. <br />Table 3-16: Housing Conditions "Windshield" Survey Findings (*) <br />Housing Condition <br />Area Surveyed <br />(# of properties in each category) <br />Comments <br />Good <br />Fair <br />Poor <br />Total <br />Alvarado/Williams <br />66 <br />8 <br />1 <br />75 <br />Small Victorian cottages abutted by automotive and <br />light industrial businesses.
