<br />An initial step that the City can take' in the downtown area is to conduct an inventory of existing
<br />building conditions. Each building would be classified as standard, substandard, or dilapidated. A standard
<br />conditic~m is defined as a building with few or no visual defects, and any defects that do exist are 'considered
<br />minor. A building with a'substandard condition requires repair that is typically not within the regular
<br />course of maintenance and upkeep, such as rotted awnings, cracked foundations and deteriorating mortar.
<br />These repairs are of an intennediate nature. The final con~ition category is dilapidated, which is defined as
<br />a building with major structural defects. Onc~ this information is assembled, City staff can -then determine
<br />which blocks have a disproportionate share of deteriorated buildings and where rehabilitation needs are
<br />greatest.
<br />
<br />It is also important to document those buildings ttIat have been renovated, are well maintained,
<br />have unusual archftecture, or otherWise add to the appearance of the downtoWn area. Some structures might
