APPENDIX B

Housing Condition Survey

City of Riverbank

Funded By:

State of California Department of Housing and Community Development

California Development Block Grant No. 02-STBG-1762

May/June 2003

PURPOSE

A housing condition survey was conducted in 2003 covering the proposed Riverbank target area. The purpose of the survey was two-fold: first, to gather information in order to assess the feasibility of implementing a housing rehabilitation project in the area; second, to develop a program design which would effectively address demonstrated housing needs. The survey was conducted in accordance with the California Department of Housing and Community Development guidelines.

METHODOLOGY

During the months of May and June 2003, staff of the Community Development Department for the City of Riverbank drove every street in the Housing Condition Target Area and completed a Housing Condition Survey for each housing structure.

Each structure was rated according to criteria established by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). There are five structural categories: foundation, roofing, siding, windows, and electrical. Within each category, the housing unit is rated from “no repairs needed” to “replacement needed.” These condition points are added together for each unit and a finding was made identifying each unit as being sound, in need of minor repair, moderate repair, and substantial repair or dilapidated. The last designation is applied to units on which only correction of health and safety factors or demolition is economically feasible (i.e., too expensive to bring up to the Uniform Housing Code Standards).

Upon completion of the surveys, collected data was collated and analyzed.
