Dynamic Climate - Hot summers and cold winters with lake-effect snow can cause damage to building facades as well as asphalt and concrete surfaces.
Soil and Drainage Conditions - Shifting clay soil and inadequate drainage systems cause problems and impact building foundations and landscaping.
Aging Infrastructure - Old buildings and materials present increased costs and challenges for local communities.
Local Codes and Conditions - Various local building codes and restrictions regulated by the Department of Neighborhood Services (DNS) impact the greater Milwaukee area.
Vacant Properties and Rehabs - Properties owned by the city are often associated with deferred maintenance, specific rehab requirements, and rigorous scope-of-work approval processes.
Historic Restrictions - Historic preservation standards require adherence to specific materials and guidelines in areas such as Brewers Hill and Bay View.
