Subject: New Mills Act Contracts at 1602 Georgina Avenue, 1047 9th Street, 225
Santa Monica Boulevard, 947 -953 11th Street and 401 25th Street.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolutions authorizing the
City Manager to negotiate and execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements
(Mills Act Contracts) between the City of Santa Monica and the property owners of five
designated City Landmarks at 1602 Georgina Avenue, 1047 9th Street, 225 Santa
Monica Boulevard, 947 -953 11th Street and 401 25th Street.
Executive Summary
The Mills Act is a state law that enables local governments to enter into contracts with
owners of qualified historic properties to authorize a property tax reduction. The Mills
Act is one of the few financial incentives available to owners of historic properties, and
is an important tool for implementing the City's Historic Preservation Element goals: to
promote the designation and long -term preservation of historic resources through the
provision of incentives and technical assistance.
The City requires Mills Act Contract applicants to provide a report prepared by a
qualified architect describing the condition of the structure and its restoration and
maintenance needs in order to ensure the resource's historic integrity and structural
stability. The recommendations in the architect's report are reflected in the proposed
ten -year rehabilitation /restoration and maintenance plan which becomes an attachment
to the Mills Act Contract entered into between the City of Santa Monica and the property
owners. Staff verifies the information contained in the report and may identify additional
restoration and maintenance items as necessary.
Execution of the pending Mills Act Contracts will result in reduced property tax revenue
to the City estimated at $45,493 total for the 2014 -2015 fiscal year and a similar amount
annually thereafter.

Background
In 1991, as part of a comprehensive revision to the City's Landmarks Ordinance, the
City Council authorized designated Structures of Merit, Landmarks, and contributing
structures located in designated Historic Districts to be considered qualified historic
properties eligible for historic property contracts submitted pursuant to the provisions of
California Government Code Sections 50250- 50290. As a result, property owners of
such designated historic properties may file a Mills Act Contract application.
Once approved, a Mills Act contract requires the County Tax Assessor's office to
determine the value of the historic property based upon its current net operating
income, rather than upon the traditional assessed valuation method resulting, in most
cases, in a property tax reduction. For residential or commercial structures that are
rented, the net operating income is determined based on actual rents received. For
residential and commercial structures that are owner- occupied, the net operating
income is determined by the income the property would produce if rented. In exchange
for a property tax reduction, the owner agrees to protect, maintain and, if necessary,
restore the historic property.
Under the traditional method of determining property taxes, properties are reassessed
when sold. However, since Mills Act contracts run with the property, subsequent owners
may realize greater tax benefits, as the assessed property value typically increases
when the property is sold, resulting in an even greater difference between the property
taxes under the assessed valuation method versus the property tax calculation
permitted by the Mills Act contract. This can be a significant marketing feature for the
property in terms of future sales and is considered an important historic preservation
incentive because the property will be maintained. Similarly, the obligations and
property tax reduction benefits associated with the Mills Act contract are also binding
upon successive property owners during the contract term.
K
The initial Mills Act contract term is a minimum 10 -year period. Each year on the
anniversary of the effective date of the agreement, also known as the renewal date, a
year is automatically added to the initial 10 -year term of the agreement. This effectively
makes the term of the contract at least 10 years, but possibly indefinite unless the
owner or City submits a notice of non - renewal. A notice of non - renewal could be
initiated by the City if the property owner is not fulfilling the obligations (i.e. scheduled
improvements or maintenance) specified within their contract with the City. If such a
notice of non - renewal were submitted, the contract would remain in effect for the
balance of the term remaining, either from its original date of execution if within the
initial 10 -year term, or from the date of the last one -year renewal of the agreement.
Alternatively, the owner may petition the City to initiate an immediate cancellation, which
would result in payment of a penalty equal to 12.5% of the property's assessed current
fair market value, as determined by the County Assessor as though the property were
free of the contractual restriction. The City may also cancel the contract in the event of a
breach of contract conditions, whereby the property owner would be subject to pay the
same 12.5% penalty.
The terms of the contract also state that the agreement may be amended, in whole or in
part, if both the owner and the City agree to execute a recorded document to
memorialize the contract amendment.
Discussion
Santa Monica Mills Act Contracts
On July 8, 2014, the Council passed an Ordinance that revised the City's Mills Act
Program by narrowing contract eligibility requirements and expanding applicant
submittals. Although the effective date of these revisions would not affect current
applicants, staff encouraged all applicants during this Mills Act cycle to comply with the
new requirements.
9
Mills Act contracts are time - sensitive and must be recorded by the end of the 2014
calendar year in order to take effect the following year. The County Assessor will make
a final determination of the taxes due when the approved Contract is submitted and
recorded, and will continue to conduct property tax assessments on an annual basis.
Los Angeles County Assessor's Office data showed that for the 2012 -2013 tax year,
property value assessments for the 57 Santa Monica historic properties with executed
Mills Acts contracts have been reduced between 11% and 82 %, with the average
reduction being 52 %, when compared to their "Proposition 13" values. From these Mills
Act contract property value assessments, correspondingly lower taxes have been levied
on these properties. Each year, the County Assessor reassesses taxes due for
properties with Mills Act Contracts.
Staff estimates that the five new contracts will result in property tax reductions equating
to 73.4 percent for 1602 Georgina Avenue, 62.3 percent for 1047 9th Street, 40.2
percent for 225 Santa Monica Boulevard, 62.3 percent for 947 -953 11th Street and 81.3
percent for 401 25th Street.
Property owners are required to obtain all applicable entitlements such as a Certificate
of Appropriateness, and all associated building permits, for work proposed in the 10-
year restoration /maintenance plan. Furthermore, all work proposed in the 10 -year
restoration /maintenance plan must comply with "The Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving,
Rehabilitating, Restoring & Reconstructing Historic Buildings" (Weeks & Grimmer,
1995).
Property owners are also required to submit a report to the City on a biennial basis to
demonstrate compliance with contract terms. In January 2015, staff will initiate its latest
contract monitoring effort for all 57 of the City's existing contracts, to ensure that
contractual terms and obligations are being fulfilled and the properties are appropriately
maintained.

Commission Action
The Landmarks Commission reviewed three of the proposed Mills Act Contract requests
(225 Santa Monica Boulevard, 947 -953 11th Street and 401 25th Street) at its September
8, 2014 meeting and directed staff to forward recommendations to the Council in
support of these new applications. During its discussion, the Commission appreciated
the thoroughness of each application and the quality of the associated architectural
reports. The two remaining application requests (1602 Georgina Avenue and 1047 9th
Street) were not able to be forwarded to the Landmarks Commission for
recommendation due to a Commissioner conflict that disabled the Commission from
reviewing and making a recommendation.
11
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of the
recommended action. Staff will return to Council if specific budget actions are required
in the future. Execution of these Mills Act Contracts would result in a reduction in annual
property tax revenue to the City in the amount of $45,493. A summary financial
analysis table is included as Attachment F.

Project Site
Kaplan Chen Kaplan conducted a historic resources condition assessment of a single
family residential structure located at 1602 Georgina Avenue, otherwise known as the EJ
Carrillo House in the northwest portion of Santa Monica, California. The house
prominently sits at the southeast corner of 16Th Street and Georgina Avenue. The split
level house and parcel was designated a City Landmark in July 2014 in Santa Monica.
Neighborhood and Building Description
Built in 1924, this unique, low scaled "hacienda" type property set on a rolling lawn was
designed in a Mexican Spanish Colonial Revival Style by Architect John Byers. Most of
the homes in this well- developed residential neighborhood are larger homes and reflect
a type of period revival. This building is an excellent example of a John Byers home of
the 1920's and 30's. Its adobe wall construction and finish of smooth stucco, low,
asymmetrical fagade and composition, low- pitched multi — planar, hipped and gabled
roofing system with hand crafted Mexican red clay tiles with thick mortar caps, stucco
clad chimneys and canals, deeply recessed three bay front veranda with red clay
hexagonal pavers and troweled finish plaster stouts (columns) set between rough -hewn
timber beams, wood plank entry door with wrought iron hardware, wing walls ,wrought
iron features, and multi- pane fenestration reflect Byers interpretation of traditional
Mexican and Spanish Colonial Architecture, as outlined in the City's Historic
Preservation Specialist's report, which reviewed the property and outlined character -
defining features and other important elements that contribute to historic significance.
The following report includes a condition assessment of these various elements and a
strategy for repair and ongoing maintenance.
General Description
The house is located in a neighborhood of other mostly single family residences on
some of the larger lots in the northwest section of the City of Santa Monica. The site is
generally flat, but slopes up from the North and West property lines about three feet. The
house is one story on its north elevation with a partially elevated one -story with a
basement section to the southwest. At the Northwest corner of the site a semi white-
washed red brick wall with decorative brick coping encloses a brick paved patio area. A
glazed sunroom overlooks this patio with a circular blind wood - turned balustrade, At the
Northeast corner a stucco clad brick wall encloses the backyard and includes an open
patio area with fireplace, original detached garage, swimming pool and landscaping. The
garage has wood -frame stucco walls, an original coffered entry door with rough sawn
exposed wood lintel, a flat roof with red tile capped parapet, multi -pane fenestration and
is entered off the alley to the East. The front yard lawn wraps the northwest corner of the
lot and a curved brick walkway leads from the front porch to Georgina Avenue. The
generous setback, mature trees, shrubs and ground plantings at the northwest corner of
the site contribute to its historic quality. Not far from the Pacific Ocean, the site is subject
to typical coastal weather patterns.

Character Defining Features
A patterned brick stair and walkway with brick edging terraces up from the street curb to
the veranda. The main entry bricks are in good condition and mortar is generally
secure. This area should be monitored and repointed where there is missing grout.
Provide ongoing cleaning of brick pavers, steps, and curbs. Water, especially under
hose pressure, should be avoided. In front of each stucco stout post at the front veranda
is a square brick trimmed dirt area, suggesting possible vines or potted plants.
IW,"1 0
While landscape is not considered a character defining feature, the rolling lawn, some
mature trees and shrubs on the Northwest corner contribute to the historic character of
the property. Landscape can also impact the structure. Most landscape is well kept and
trim. Some landscape, notably the mature trees have begun to crowd and impact the
building. To avoid impact on exterior plaster, roof tile and drainage, trees should be kept
from directly touching the exterior including the roof. Dense foliage adjacent to plaster
may hold excessive moisture close to the building. Judicious pruning should maintain a
healthy and attractive tree while clearing space between landscape and structure.
Exterior Plaster
The primary exterior material is painted cement plaster. The texture is a smooth
trowelled finish over adobe brick. Original openings have plaster returns without trim.
The plaster is in good condition and should be maintained whenever cracks appear to
minimize water intrusion. Older plaster should not be repainted with elastomeric type
paints (that tend to seal the surface) so that moisture inside can escape.
Clay Tile Roofs
The hand crafted barrel clay tile roof is a strong visual element and a key character
defining feature. The Mexican red clay tiles are set with thick concrete mortar caps, and
are irregularly laid in rows. The sloping roof rakes are covered by clay tile wrapping the
edge. The tile appears to be in good condition and original. The tile eaves should be
checked for loose tile. These tiles should be reattached, rather than replaced. Any
broken loose mortar should also be removed. Any broken tile or loose mortar should
also be removed. In areas most visible from the street, a clay tile from a less visible
area could carefully removed and used in that location and a replacement tile in kind
would be considered for the less visible area. Walking on the tile roof should be avoided.
Care should also be taken to preserve and maintain decorative attic vents with clay tile.
Kaplan Chen Kaplan 2 August 12, 2014
1602 Georgina Avenue, Santa Monica
Chimneys
Decorative stucco clad chimneys appear to be in good condition and should be
maintained whenever cracks appear to minimize water intrusion. Original red tile caps
appear to be in good condition. Original open arched chimney vents remain, and in one
case a new galvanized chimney vent was placed adjacent to the original to provide an
updated chimney exhaust system.
Gutters and Downspouts
Original punctuating canales occur at the Master Bedroom gable over the balcony and
again at the other end of the gable to the south. Painted half -round gutters and exposed
downspouts do not appear to be original. The gutters need to be kept clear of debris
from the large trees. Areas of deteriorated metal should be repaired. Gutters, which
may be a later addition, should be cleared regularly.
Exterior Partial Wood Overhangs
The partial overhang over a rear door off the pool area has exposed wood roof rafters
spaced approximately one foot apart, painted and supported by decorative painted wood
roof brackets. The exposed wood ceiling and roof rafters above the outdoor pool area
are stained dark brown and the support beam is painted. A painted wood trellis sits
above the courtyard wall and is entwined with a tree. Care to maintain this should be
ongoing.
The original wood windows and doors with their accompanying embellishments are key
character defining elements. Wooden horizontal louvered shutters flank the window
openings that face out onto the primary veranda and one window to the west. Other
original windows occur in the entrance hallway and look out onto the courtyard. Other
openings are of varying shapes and sizes. Each of the three windows at the veranda is
painted, wood framed side by side eight lite sash with painted wood sills and thin
mullions. Fenestration on the secondary elevations is similar to that at the porch area,
and where original windows have been replaced they are compatible yet differentiated
slightly in mullion width and profile. Other windows have original decorative wrought iron
grills or baiconets. The balconets and grills are character defining elements. In addition
a painted rough -sawn exposed beam sits above the glazing at the balcony above the
courtyard and appears to be original.
The windows have been generally well maintained. Wood windows will be durable if
maintained. They must be handled carefully because of their thin mullions. Original
glass may still remain in some of these windows and doors and it should be maintained
whenever possible. Window and door bottoms and window sills should also be checked
for deterioration and repaired. Wood shutters should also be maintained, and painted
every few years.
Kaplan Chen Kaplan 3 August 12, 2014
1602 Georgina Avenue, Santa Monica
The front door of the main house off the veranda and the door to the garage off the
garden are original John Byers coffered patterned solid wood doors where the pattern of
the exterior differs from that of the interior. Both are stained or painted with decorative
wrought iron hardware. A painted wood plank gate with wrought iron hardware occurs at
the West elevation and a recessed arched opening with a decorative wrought iron infill
grill also appear to be original.
Decorative woodwork
The wood windows and doors are complemented by extensive use of woodwork
throughout the house including entry hallway and living room ceilings, stair treads,
flooring, cabinets, base molding and beams. The interior of the house has also been
generally well maintained and the wood is in good condition. Not all of the wood
elements are original but are well integrated into the original house. Stained wood
should continue to be refinished with compatible products when repair work becomes
necessary. Normal housecleaning should avoid heavy waxes and caustic cleaning
solutions. Care should be taken that cleaning equipment does not damage baseboards
and doorjambs.
The circular blind wood turned wood balustrade above the courtyard off 161h and
Georgina is also original and is painted. This should be checked regularly and painted as
required for continued protection against salt air.
Decorative Metal Work
The wrought iron metal hardware throughout is simply yet elegantly detailed with
decorative bolt -ends and lightweight metal brackets and trim. There are miscellaneous
decorative grills and balconets. The exterior metal is painted black and in good
condition, and should be replaced with a matching pieces as required. When rust or
flaking of paint is evident, the metal work should be refinished for long -term preservation.
Deteriorated brackets and missing screws and bolts should be repaired or replaced.
Interior Plaster
Plaster is the predominant finish inside. The original house areas include large
expanses of plaster walls with rounded corners and edges. Any modifications or repairs
should be made with a compatible material that has a similar surface and corner detail.
Drywall use must be at least supplemented with plaster skim coat. There is evidence of
mildew at the lower level bedroom and closet area due to previous moisture.
Tilework
The front loggia has the original hexagonal red tile and has been maintained over the
years and is in good condition although there is conflicting description ( "brick') of the
original material in the DPR. Tile in the exterior courtyard, and overhanging balcony, as
well as interior stairwells is original and in good condition. Any original remaining tile
should be maintained.
Kaplan Chen Kaplan 4 August 12, 2014
1602 Georgina Avenue, Santa Monica
Light Fixtures
A few original light fixtures remain. The exterior porch light over the entry and a few of
the interior fixtures are original. Many other fixtures that are now installed are recent
purchases from that time period or other compatible design. All light fixtures should be
checked for safe wiring. Hanging fixtures such as living room should be checked for
safety from swinging.
Hardware
Some original wrought iron hardware remains such as on the main doors. Original
hardware should be maintained and left in place wherever possible. Supplemental
compatible locking devices may be added when necessary. In general, hardware in the
house functions and is well maintained.
Structural
According to the city's historic consultant's report," the house is constructed of
handmade adobe sheathed in trowel finished plaster..." and per the original permit, the
structure sits on a concrete foundation. The house remains in good condition. No
obvious structural deficiencies such as broken foundations or sagging floors or beams
are evident. The damaged chimneys have been repaired without decorative caps.
Future roof work may include additional roof sheathing or nailing in attic spaces as a
precautionary structural improvement. An engineer could be engaged to further review
existing structure and suggested upgrades as well as waterproofing the lower basement
wall to prevent further deterioration due to dampness and resultant mildew.
Electrical
Much of the electrical has been updated overtime. The kitchen was recently renovated
and the current owner has been replacing and updating the electrical as needed.
Electrical safety should be maintained as additional large appliances, computers and
other equipment are operated in the residence.
Mechanical
The original furnace has been replaced with a forced air system. Original decorative
grills have been maintained and new compatible return air grill has been added. The
new system should provide greater climatic stability to the house and thus better
protection for the interior finishes. The mechanical should be checked regularly,
especially for any condensation or overflow pans. The electrician may check the
connections and power requirements when reviewing other elements of the house.

The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Properties
There are Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Preserving, Restoring and Rehabilitation of
historic buildings. While rehabilitation may be the most flexible of the Standards, it provides a
sound basis for appropriate preservation of this historic structure. As supplementary
information, the National Park Service publishes Preservation Briefs with guidelines and
examples of treatment of a variety of historic structures and materials. Preservation Briefs can
be found online at www.NPS.gov and should be used as reference for work on the property.
1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires
minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and
environment.
2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of
historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall
be avoided.
3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use.
Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural
features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.
4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic
significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship
that characterize a property shall be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity
of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive features, the new feature shall
match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible,
materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary,
physical, or pictorial evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic
materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be
undertaken using the gentlest means possible.
8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and
preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be
undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic
materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the
old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to
protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a
manner that is removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic
property and its environment would be unimpaired.

1047 9th Street, Santa Monica
Project Site
Kaplan Chen Kaplan conducted an historic resources condition assessment of 1047 91h
Street, three single family residential structures located on a single parcel in the
northwest portion of Santa Monica, California. The three residential kit home buildings
were designated as City Landmarks in January 2010 in Santa Monica.
Neighborhood and Building Description
According to the Los Angeles Tax Assessor records, the buildings were built in 1923.
Previous historic evaluations of the property indicate that the three detached bungalow
residences were constructed using the prefabricated building system developed by the
Los Angeles area Pacific Ready -Cut homes, with wood clapboard walls, double hung
wood sash windows and gabled roofs.that when assembled. The following report
includes a condition assessment of,the exterior elements and-character defining features
as well as strategies for repair and ongoing maintenance.
General Description
The buildings are located in a neighborhood of mostly two and three story multi - family
buildings with a few single family residences. The three residences are situated on the
eastside of 9th Street, between Washington Avenue and California Avenue. The
property is bordered by multi - family housing to the north and south, and an alleyway to
the east. The site is generally flat east to west with a slight slope to the south. Only nine
blocks from the Pacific Ocean, the site is subject to typical coastal weather patterns.
The site includes three structures: the larger street fronting residence has a narrow
paved walkway that leads from 9th street to the front entrance. The two smaller identical
residences face a common open space and are located along the walkway running west
to east on the north side of the lot. There are six uncovered parking spaces on a
concrete apron off the alley. The residences appear to be in relatively good condition,
having been rehabilitated in the past year and are currently fully occupied.
Character Defining Features
The three simple cottages with gabled roofs and dormer type porch are excellent
examples of the American Colonial Revival Style as applied to working and middle class
housing. The three detached houses document the development of mass - produced
housing in Southern California, as they were designed and fabricated by Pacific Ready -
Cut, and are an unusual example of two styles that were built as depicted in the Pacific
Ready -Cut catalogue. The larger residence facing 91h street is listed as "Style 84 ". The
two smaller residences in the rear are listed as "Style 44

Exterior:

Multi- light wood operable and fixed wood windows with thin mullions
Exterior wood trim including window and door trim
The larger street - facing residence has a central wood door between original multi -light
sidelights and three operable multi- light windows on each side of the primary elevation.
There are original windows on the three secondary elevations of the larger structure.
The larger bungalow has an American Colonial Revival.style one -bay front porch with a
broken pediment supported by Tuscan- -wood columns.
Each of the smaller structures also has a single bay front porch with a gabled pediment
and arched opening supported by classical fluted pilasters and decorative brackets..
They also have three operable multi -light windows on each side of the primary
elevations.
Interior:

Site work
The concrete walks are simply built without special pattern, but may be original along the
north and west. These areas should be preserved as long as no unsafe condition
develops from cracking or offset surfaces. The six concrete parking spaces off the alley
recently were rehabilitated and are in good condition.
The Concrete steps to all the bungalows appear to be settling and eventually need to be
repaired or replaced in kind.
Repair or localized replacement of paving is necessary where displacement of walking
surfaces create a tripping hazard. Frequent cleaning of concrete with water, especially
under pressure, should be avoided.
Kaplan Chen Kaplan 2 August 12, 2014
1047 9th Street, Santa Monica
Landscape
While landscape is not considered a character defining feature it can impact the
structure. Most landscape around the buildings is well kept and trim. A few mature
trees that were crowding the structures were removed. The palm tree at the southwest
corner of the larger building porch appears too close to the building and foundation. To
avoid impact on the foundation, walls and roofs, trees should be kept from directly
touching the exterior of the buildings. Dense foliage adjacent to wood clapboard wall
finishes may hold excessive moisture too close to the buildings. Judicious pruning
should maintain a healthy and attractive tree while clearing space between landscape
and structure. The trees should be further reviewed due to potential serious impact on
structure. Landscape irrigation should not spray on the building. There is a wood picket
gate and archway at the front of the property off 9h Street, as well as a grandfathered
hedge. Since the parcel is not included in the landmark designation, these elements are
not character defining. However an attractive front shall be maintained as this is the
primary elevation from the public right.of way.
Foundations./ Structural
There was not an under -floor or structural review, and no foundation work or seismic
upgrade_work_has been perfDrmed_on_the buildings. They are all in their original
condition. The front porches of the smaller units have settled to create a gap between
the bottoms of the pilasters and the top of the porch slabs. In addition there is cracking
at the entrance door sills. These have been repaired temporarily but may need future
monitoring and some additional reconstruction work. No other obvious structural
deficiencies such as sagging floors or beams were apparent during site walk.
Future work may include adding seismic attachments between the foundation and
building framing and other miscellaneous upgrades. The Owner should review records
for previous seismic upgrades such as foundation /base plate connections. An engineer
could be engaged to further review existing structure and suggested upgrades. These
items should be followed up for the long -term preservation of the building.
Exterior Wood Clapboard Siding, Wood Trim, Eaves and Rafter Tails
The primary exterior material as described in the Pacific Readycut Catalogue is painted
5/8 "x 4" rabbetted and beveled redwood surfaced siding. Painted wood trim surrounds
the windows and doors. The entire wood exteriors including wooden eaves and rafter
tails were restored by the current owners in accordance with the Secretary of Interiors
Standards and repainted in the past year. Where wood clapboards were rotted on the
primary elevations, material from the rear elevations was substituted and new material
cut to appear in kind replaced the relocated boards. Termite remediation was also
completed this past year.
The buildings' wood exteriors will need ongoing painting and maintenance every two to
three years as it is vulnerable to salt air and sun and new water based paints do not
provide protection and longevity as did the original historic oil based paint.
Kaplan Chen Kaplan 3 August 12, 2014
1047 9th Street, Santa Monica
Roofs
The gabled roofs may not be extremely old, but appear to be near time for substantial
repair or replacement. The light grey asphalt shingles do not appear to be original as
a darker roof shingle is:depicted -in photos from the Pacific Ready -Cut Catalogue.
Eventually, all the roofs will need to be. replaced and at that time a material selection
should be made that.more closely matches the color of the original material.
Chimneys
No chimneys are obvious from the exterior, although the front residence appears to have
had a fireplace added possibly in the field and still extant on the interior at the living
room.
Downspouts and Drains and Flashing
A series of leader boxes and downspouts bringing water down around the building did
not appear original and were removed as part of the rehabilitation process. Areas of
deteriorated metal. flashing :have -been repaired, or replaced in kind and painted.
Exterior Metalwork
The building and site have several metal elements, including screen doors, wrought iron
railings and miscellaneous hardware. The screen doors and the metal railings did not
appear to be original and were removed. The metal work is generally well- prepped and
painted for long term maintenance.
Exterior Porch and Eave Ceilings
The porch and eave ceilings are t &g redwood boards painted. Ongoing painting every
two to three years is required to provide protection and longevity.
Wood Doors and Windows
There are painted wood exterior doors at each of the three residences. The entry doors
did not appear original including hardware and were replaced with new wood doors and
hardware that are appropriate in design.
Multi light operable wood windows with thin mullions on the primary facades have been
repaired and refurbished. Interior wood trim was replaced in kind. Ongoing maintenance
for these windows is required. Further replacement windows should be avoided as they
rarely truly "match the original mullion sizes and shapes.
There are also wood windows, generally on the east and south in the "back" areas of the
cottages. These windows have been refurbished where possible and replaced in kind
where original windows and sills were rotted and beyond repair. Some non - original
Kaplan Chen Kaplan 4 August 12, 2014
1047 9th Street, Santa Monica
jalousie windows were removed and replaced with new windows, sills and trim that are
compatible and appropriate. Further replacement windows should be avoided due to
difficulty to truly "match" the original mullion sizes and shapes.
A complete wood door and window assessment would assist in directing future repairs
or for.incorpo-rating- .rehabilitation and maintenance as part of a painting program.
Hardware
Most hardware at the cottage front doors was previously replaced. Cabinet and original
window hardware remains and new matching was provided where missing
Exterior Lights
The exterior lights are generally located in obvious utilitarian locations such as at entry
porches. The light fixtures are not original, but are appropriately simple in design.
These light locations should be maintained and fixtures replaced when necessary with a
similar or in kind fixture, as these particular fixtures are vulnerable to the salt air.
Electrical
The electrical service was not thoroughly investigated except that the power comes from
overhead lines in the alley to the roof of each of the cottages. An electrician can check
for any obvious safety issues. Electrical wires run under the eaves and down the rear or
side elevations on the North and south sides of each building to a subpanel box at each
cottage. Cable and telephone wires are also neatly run down the sides of the building
from the roofs to the crawl spaces below. Some electrical upgrades were made including
clearing many exposed wirings and cables off the exterior but the system will need
general review and possible overall upgrade work in the future.
Mechanical /Plumbing
New pipes (copper pipes in some cases) have been installed in various locations around
the building. Tankless water heaters were installed and the old tank water heaters and
metal enclosures were removed. Where holes were made incidental damage to the
wood clapboarding was repaired and painted to match existing in kind. Ongoing
Mechanical and Plumbing upgrades will be necessary.
Interior Wood Floors
Interior wood floors in all three cottages are original. When the cottages were restored in
the past year,. new appropriate wood floors were installed over the old ones, leaving the
original floors protected and intact.

Clock Tower Building Mills Act Application Santa Monica, California
August 13, 2014 - p.1
PART 1: ARCHI T ECTUR'AL RER)F a
The building now known as the Clock Tower has long been a local landmark in Santa Monica in
every sense. At twelve stories, it stood as the only high -rise building in Santa Monica from its
completion in 1930 until the 1970s, marking downtown Santa Monica's otherwise low -rise
business district on Santa Monica Blvd. between 2nd and 3`d Streets. Walker & Eisen, a prominent
Los Angeles firm, served as architects of the Ail Deco style building on behalf of the Bay Cities
Guaranty and Loan Association.
The Clock Tower Building is eligible for consideration for a Mills Act contract due to its status as
City of Santa Monica Landmark 464, a designation it received in 2004. As required in the Mills
Act application, this report fulfills items 1 -4 of the application materials:
0 Architectural Report identifying the status and condition of all character defining features
of the building and site.
0 Ten -year Restoration/Rehabilitation Plan with estimated cost and schedule.
0 Ten -year Maintenance Plan with estimated cost and schedule describing all
periodic /ongoing maintenance needs of the structure including plumbing, electrical,
roofing, and structural systems.
0 Photographs of all building elevations and character- defining features (incorporated into
the Architectural Report).
This report has been prepared by ARG Associates Jennifer Trotoux, an architectural historian and
historic preservation planner, and Alice Valania, a registered architect licensed in California (C-
33033). Both meet the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards for
architectural history, and Ms. Valania meets the qualifications for architecture as well. To gather
information for the completion of this report, we conducted research on the background and
development of the building and performed a site visit with Avon Ventura, the property manager
with Cushman & Wakefield. We inspected and photographed the main level, basement, roof, and
several vacant office floors, along with the stairwells and representative restrooms located on the
stairwell. For reference, we collected photocopies of building records that were present in the
basement, including an extensive permit history (though 1999), a core and shell rehabilitation
plan set (The Landau Partnership, Inc., 2002), a structural plan set (Nabih Youssef & Assoc.
(2001), and other documentation.

Clock Tower Building Mills Act Application Santa Monica, California
August 13, 2014 p.2
flvmmffl �3
The Clock Tower Building was originally known as the Bay Cities Guaranty Building. The 12-
story office tower was built on the cusp of the Great Depression and represented a fit of optimism
regarding the future of real estate in the commercial district of Santa Monica. In an area that had,
all through the 1920s, seen only low -rise development, the building brought sudden and dramatic
change to the local skyline, matching the height limit of 150 feet seen in downtown Los Angeles
and comparable to the 1920s high rises of larger business centers such as Long Beach.
The large, double - height space occupying two- thirds of the ground floor housed a bank lobby for
Bay Cities Guaranty Building and Loan. The bank, however, apparently fell victim to the Great
Depression and closed down shortly after the building's construction. The bank lobby underwent
several changes of occupancy in the following decades. In the 1960s it housed Reagei's
Pharmacy. In the 1970s and 1980s, under the building's ownership by Crocker Bank, the space
was once again a banking lobby. In recent years it became a restaurant space.
In its listing as a Santa Monica Landmark, the building was recognized for its significance as an
example of Art Deco style architecture. Walker & Eisen, the building's architects, were based in
Los Angeles and known for many high rises in both Art Deco and other period revival styles that
they designed in Los Angeles's boom years of the 1920s. The firm were leaders in the use of
structural concrete for high -rise buildings as well as in the ornament and massing of the Art Deco
style. The Fine Arts Building (1926), the United Artists Building (1927), and the Oviatt Building
(1928) are the most prominent of their works in downtown Los Angeles today. Other important
office or high -rise buildings included the Taft Building (1923, at Hollywood and Vine), the
Beverly - Wilshire Hotel (1926, in Beverly Hills) and the now - demolished Sunkist Building (1935,
across from the Los Angeles Public Library). The firm's high rises in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills,
and Hollywood featured more elaborate and expensive materials than the Clock Tower building,
which was built for the more modest, otherwise low -rise surroundings of Santa Monica's business
district.
The Bay Cities Guaranty Building essentially functioned as a professional building, which was an
emerging property type in many of the region's downtowns in the late 1920s. The 1936 city
directory shows that the building's office space was fairly evenly divided among lawyers and
physicians (including dentists and orthodontists and related laboratories), with a jeweler and a
Christian Science Reading Room rounding out the population. The County District Attorney's
office occupied the entire 12f' floor.

The Clock Tower Building has a rectangular footprint bounded by the Santa Monica Blvd.
sidewalk on the south (primary) fapade, a public alley on the west side, and adjoining two -story
buildings to the east and north.'
The building is twelve stories and 150' high with an additional clock and elevator tower of 23'
rising from the roof, offset to the east. The top of the tower houses the four -faced clock. The
building has a stepped character, which is characteristic of Art Deco architecture, due to the
successively smaller footprints of the tower and clock. The base and shaft of the repeated office
floors are a single block. The clock tower also serves as the elevator tower, and its mass above the
roofline is aligned with the elevator shafts. The elevator shafts are expressed on the east side of
the building with a windowless vertical projection running the height of the building, rising
beyond the roofline, and terminating in the clock tower.
The exterior of the building is smooth concrete formed into panels to suggest abstracted ashlar
masonry blocks. This articulation forms two -panel spandrels between the windows and advancing
columns separating each bay. At the top of the main block of the building and at the top of the
tower (below the clock itself), the articulation breaks into decorative panels with a geometric
formed - concrete design. Other ornamentation, used mainly in the spandrel panels at the ground
floor and top several floors, consists of fluted panels (with broad, vertical ribs) and other folded
plate designs in vertical panels.
The base of the building facing the street is divided into three equal bays. A historic photograph
from the collection of the Santa Monica Public Library shows the ground floor of the building
shortly after completion (see p. 6). The easternmost bay contains the entrance to the small
elevator lobby for access to the offices in the floors above, as well as access to utility areas of the
ground floor. The center bay contains entrance to the former bank lobby, now a restaurant. The
easternmost bay is a window to the restaurant but is treated similarly to the entrance bays. The
basement extends under a portion of the Santa Monica Blvd. sidewalk.
For ease of notation, the direction of the ocean is used throughout as west. Santa Monica's grid is offset
from the cardinal points, with the grid of the downtown streets running parallel and perpendicular to the
general alignment with the coast.

The interior of the building contains 54,628 square feet of space which has been remodeled,
reconfigured, and occupied by many tenants over the past 84 years. As a result, the interior does
not appear to retain any character- defining features. The elevator lobby has been altered at least
twice, most recently in 2002 -2003, and contains no historic features. The bank lobby has been
altered several times as well (no historic photographs were located). Its current appearance
reflects the original spatial arrangement but it too does not appear to contain any historic finish
materials. The historic photograph above right, from the collection of the Santa Monica Public
Library, indicates the appearance of the bank lobby shortly after the building's completion. This
view shows the light from the alley -side windows at left and the mezzanine in the background,
with a row of structural columns dividing the space as seen today.
The upper floors do not contain elevator lobbies; the elevator doors, which are relatively new (c.
2002), open directly into each office floor. Visiting several of the office floors, we did not
encounter any historic partitions, spaces, or finish materials.
3.a Integrity and Alterations
The National Register of Historic Places defines seven aspects of integrity for evaluating the
ability of a property to convey its significance: location, setting, design, materials, workmanship,
historic feeling, and historic association. A high level of integrity comes in large part from the
retention of features and materials that date to the building's period of significance, which in this
case is 1930, the year of the building's completion.

The exterior of the Clock Tower Building has a high level of historic integrity. It is in its original
location, and the setting of the building has changed little. Although the one -story building to the
west (toward 2"d St.) was replaced by a high -rise building, the impact of most new construction in
its surroundings has not greatly impacted the scale of the surrounding commercial district. As a
result, the building has maintained its prominence within its environment. The design of the
building is highly intact due to the small number of alterations to the exterior and to prior
rehabilitations that reversed some earlier changes (notably, removal of a screen in the 1980s that
had covered the building's base since the 1950s or 1960s and the removal of stone facing on the
base of the building in 2002). The building retains integrity of materials and workmanship on the
exterior due to the lack of exterior alterations to the vast majority of the exterior surfaces and the
retention of original windows, etc. The historic feeling and association of the exterior are also
intact due to the other factors of integrity.
The table below contains a record of the building permits for the property covering the period
from 1953 to 1989 plus two permits from the mid -1930s (electrical permits were also located in
these files but are not noted here). Additional items were noted from the 2002 updated plan set for
the core and shell rehabilitation of the building.
The permits show that there was steady tenant improvement work on many of the upper floors, as
we noted in our walk- through of the building. Major alterations to the exterior appear to have
occurred in 1961 -1964, when the exterior was clad in travertine (though this was not discovered
in the permit history), exterior signage and marquee were mounted, and the lobby was altered.
The major remodeling of the banking lobby appears to have occurred in 1961. The space was
more recently remodeled for restaurant use.
A core and shell rehabilitation of the building was undertaken in 2002. This was the last major
rehabilitation of the building and returned many features of the exterior ground floor, which had
been previously altered, to their historic appearance. The current features of the lobby also date to
this project.

The Clock Tower Building retains a high level of historic integrity on the exterior, and it has been
well - maintained in recent years. As with any eighty- year -old building, there are ongoing
maintenance issues that must be continually addressed, particularly in a coastal environment.
The building has maintenance needs that must be attended to in order to protect its character -
defining features. The Restoration/Rehabilitation and Maintenance Plan sections of this report
outline the character - defining features and the major systems of the building. The items that
ownership has proposed to undertake are included as are recommendations based on ARG and
Cushman & Wakefield's observations.
Character- defining features are material aspects and features of a building that date to the period
of significance, retain historic integrity, and convey the historical significance of the property. In
this case, they are the architectural and decorative features, materials, spatial relationships/
massing, and other similar characteristics that communicate the building's significance as a 1929-
1930 high rise professional building marking Santa Monica's main commercial district. The
period of significance for the building is the date of its completion, 1930. Any character - defining
features dating to 1930 are considered historic features of the building. Character - defining
features of the exterior are listed below with photographs for reference, as well an evaluation of
the condition of the feature pictured.

The Mills Act in Santa Monica only applies to building exteriors. While the exterior rehabilitation
of the Clock Tower Building was initiated in 2002, returning the limited areas of alteration (most
significantly the base of the building on Santa Monica Blvd.) to their historic appearance, the
interior had been remodeled many times. The major ground floor spaces were remodeled in a
manner considered to be compatible with the historic character of the building. The interior
throughout appears to have no historic features and does not retain historic integrity of design,
workmanship, materials, historic feeling, or association. The elevator lobby, a narrow space that
is accessed through the east entrance bay, retains no original finishes, though its small dimensions
are likely close to or the same as the space's original volume. The restaurant space, originally a
banking lobby, also appears to retain its original spatial character but aside from that does not
retain visible historic features or finishes.
Each office floor has been altered substantially. The elevator doors at each level (mostly clad in
sheet stainless steel) date to 2002, and any earlier partitions and finishes have been removed on
all floors that were visited during the site visit for preparation of this report in June, 2014.
The building's exit stairwell, while utilitarian in character, is intact and retains its original
features and finishes. These for the most part are simple plaster walls and concrete stairs with
scored traction lines at the front edge of the treads. The metal tube handrails are not historic
features.
Restrooms are located off of the landings between each floor on the east side of the building.
These have been altered, but retain their original spaces, much of the configuration, and some
historic features along with compatible new finish materials. In restrooms where marble stall
partitions are present, these are generally original (and character - defining) features. The stall
doors, replacement wall tile, marble sill along the top of the tile, and floor tile are not historic
features and appear to be more recently installed as a part of the 2002 rehabilitation. A small area
of likely original flat - profile, glazed, white, 3" x 6" subway tile was found in the basement, and
seems to indicate that the tile in the restrooms replaced similar, earlier subway tile. Additional
nonhistoric restrooms were also built within some office suites.
The lobby and banking hall were both rehabilitated within the past fifteen years, on top of other,
prior alterations. Further redesign of the lobby is being considered in order to make it more
compatible with the Art Deco character of the building, but this work will be outside of the
purview of the Mills Act contract. Upper office floors are also under ongoing remodeling for
tenant improvements but are likewise not regulated under the Mills Act.

The architectural significance of the Clock Tower Building and the need for ongoing upgrades
and maintenance to protect the building's historic features and materials make it a strong
candidate for a Mills Act contract. The new ownership and recent prior ownership have
demonstrated an ongoing commitment to the building's preservation. The financial commitment
required on the part of the owners to provide the needed level of attention to the building's
maintenance is significant, and the amount of relief gained from the Mills Act contract will begin
to offset these costs for one of Santa Monica's most visible historic buildings.

8. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards
The Technical Preservation Services Branch of the National Park Service (NPS) defines four
treatment approaches for historic properties. The treatment approach of "rehabilitation" best
applies to the scope of work and ongoing maintenance proposed for the property:
The act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair,
alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its
historical, cultural, or architectural values.
Guidelines for applying the Standards can be found at this NPS web site:
hfty: / /www.cr nps gov/h s�/tns /standguide /rehab /rehab index.htm
The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation are as follows:
1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal
change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of
distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that
characterize a property will be avoided.
3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes
that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or
elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be
retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the
old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing
features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest
means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used.
8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must
be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.

9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic
materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work
shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials,
features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property
and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a
manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic
property and its environment would be unimpaired.

This Brief is not intended to promote the repair of fer-
rous metal windows in every case, but rather to insure
that preservation is always the first consideration in a
rehabilitation project. Some windows are not important
elements in defining a building's historic character; others
are highly significant, but so deteriorated that repair is in-
feasible. In such cases, the Brief offers guidance in
evaluating appropriate replacement windows,

Although metal windows were available as early as 18 60
from catalogues published by architectural supply; firms,
they did not become popular until after 1890, Two factors
combined to account for the shift from wooden to metal
windows about that time. Technology, borrowed from the
rolling industry permitted the mass production of rolled
steel windows. This technology made metal windows cost
competitive with conventional wooden windows. In addi-
tion, a series of devastating urban fires in Boston,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, and San Francisco led to the .
enactment of strict fire codes for industrial and multi-
story commercial and office buildings.
As in the process of making rails for railroads, rolled
steel windows were made by passing hot bars of steel
through progressively smaller, shaped rollers until the ap-
propriate angled configuration was achieved (see fig. 2).
The rolled steel sections, generally 1 /8" thick and 1" -
1 1/2" wide, were used for all the components of the win-
dows: sash, frame,and subframe (see fig. 3). With the ad-
dition of wire glass, a fire- resistant window resulted.
These rolled steel windows are almost exclusively found in
masonry or concrete buildings.
A byproduct of the fire- resistant window was the
strong metal frame that permitted the installation of
larger windows and windows in series. The ability to have
expansive amounts of glass and increased ventilation
dramatically changed the designs of late 19th and car])
20th century industrial and commercial buildings.
The newly available, reasonably, priced steel window
soon became popular for more than just their fire. -
resistant qualities. They were standardized, extremely
durable, and easily transported. These qualifies led to
use of steel windows in every type of construction, fro
simple industrial and institutional buildings to luxury
commercial and apartment buildings. 'Casement, doubt
hung, pivot, projecting, austral, and continuous winds
differed in operating and ventilating capacities. Figure_
outlines the kinds and properties of metal windows
available then and now. in addition, the thin profiles
metal windows contributed to the streamlined appeara
of the Art Deco, Art Modern, and International Styli
among others.
The extensive use of rolled steel metal windows'con-
tinued until after World War 11 when cheaper, non
corroding aluminum windows became increasingly'
popular. While aluminum windows dominate the mar)
today, steel windows are still fabricated. Should repla(
ment of original windows become necessary, replacer
windows may be available from the manufacturers of
some of the earliest steel windows. Before an informet
decision can be made whether to repair or replace met
the
windows, however, the significance of the windows must
he determined and their physical condition assessed.

EVALUATION
Historic and architectural Considerations
An assessment of the significance of the windows should
begin with a consideration of their function in relationto
the building's historic use and its historic character. Win-
dows that help define the building's historic character
should be preserved even if the building is being converted
to a new use. For example, projecting steel windows used
to introduce light and an effect of spaciousness to a
warehouse or industrial plant can be retained in the con-
version of such a building to offices or residences.
Other elements in assessing the relative importance of
the historic windows include the design of the windows
and their relationship to the scale, proportion, detailing
and architectural style of the building. While it may be
easy to determine the aesthetic value of highly ornamented
windows, or to recognize the importance of streamlined
windows as an element of a style, less elaborate windows
can also provide strong visual interest by their small panes
or projecting planes when open; particularly in simple,
unadorned industrial buildings (see fig. 5).
One test of the importance of windows to a building is
to ask if the overall appearance of the building would be
changed noticeably if the windows were to be removed or
radically altered. If so, the windows are important in
defining the building's historic character, and should be
repaired if their physical condition permits.
Physical Evaluation
i
Steel window repair; should begin with a careful evaluation
of the physical condition of -each unit. Either drawings or
photographs, liberally annotated, may be used to record
the location of each window,; the type of operability, the
condition of all three parts - sash, frame and sub-
frame —and the repairs essential to its continued, use.
Specifically, the evaluation should include: presence and
degree of corrosion; I condition of paint; deterioration of
the metal sections, including bowing, misalignment of the
sash, or bent sections; condition of the glass and glazing
compound; presence and condition of all hardware,
screws, bolts,,and hinges; and condition of the masonry
or concrete surrounds, including need for caulking or
resetting of improperly sloped sills.
Corrosion, principally rusting in the case of steel win-
dows, is the controlling factor in window repair;
therefore, the evaluator should first test for its presence.
Corrosion can be light, medium, or heavy, depending on
how much the rust has penetrated the metal sections. If
the rusting is merely a surface accumulation or flaking,
then the corrosion is light. If the rusting has penetrated
the metal (indicated by a bubbling texture), but has not
caused any structural damage, then the corrosion is
medium. If the rust has penetrated deep into the metal,
the corrosion is heavy. Heavy corrosion generally results
in some form of structural damage,through delamination,
to the metal section, which must then be patched or split-
ed. A sharp probe or tool, such as an ice pick, can be us-
ed to determine the extent of corrosion in the metal. If
the probe can penetrate the surface of the metal and brit-
tle strands can be dug out, then a high degree of corrosive
deterioration is present.
In addition to corrosion, the condition of the paint, the
presence of bowing or misalignment of metal sections, the
amount of glass needing replacement, and the condition
of the masonry or concrete surrounds must be.assessed in
the evaluation process. These are key factors in determin-
ing whether or not the windows can be repaired in place.
The more complete the inventory of existing conditions,
the easier it will be to determine whether repair is feasible
or whether replacement is warranted.
Rehabilitation Work Plan
Following inspection and analysis, a plan for the
rehabilitation can be formulated.' The actions necessary to
return windows to an efficient and effective working con-
dition will fall into one or more of the following
categories: routine maintenance, repair, and weatheriza-
tion. The routine maintenance and weatherization
measures described here are generally within the range of
do- it- yourselfers. Other repairs, _both moderate and ma-
jor, require a professional contractor. Major repairs nor-
mally require the removal of the window units to a
workshop, but even in the case of moderate repairs, the
number of windows involved might warrant the removal
of all the deteriorated units to a workshop in order to
realize a more economical repair price. Replacement of
windows should be considered only as a last resort.
Since moisture is the primary cause of corrosion in steel
windows, it is essential that excess moisture be eliminated
and that the building be made as iweathertight as possible'
before any other work' is undertaken. Moisture can ac-
cumulate from cracks in the masonry, from spalling,mor,
tar, from leaking gutters, from air conditioning condensa-
tion runoff, and from poorly ventilated interior spaces.'
Finally, before beginning any work, it is important to
be aware of health and safety risks involved.' Steel win
dows have historically been coated with lead paint. The:
removal of such paint by abrasive methods will produce
toxic dust. Therefore, safety goggles, a toxic dust
respirator, and protective clothing should be worn.
Similar protective measures should be taken when acid
compounds are used. Local codes may govern the
methods of removing lead paints and proper disposal of
toxic residue.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
A preliminary step in the routine maintenance of steel
windows is to remove surface dirt and grease in order to
ascertain the degree of deterioration, if any. Such minor
cleaning can be accomplished using a brush or vacuum
followed by wiping with a cloth dampened with mineral
spirits or denatured alcohol,

if it is determined that the windows are in basically
sound condition, the following steps can be taken: 1)
removal of light; rust, flaking and excessive paint; r2) prim-
ing of exposed metal with a rust- inhibiting primer; 3)
replacement of cracked or broken glass and glazing com-
pound; 4) replacement of missing screws or fasteners; 9)
cleaning and lubrication of hinges; 6) repainting of all
steel sections with two coats of finish paint compatible
with the primer; and 7) caulking the masonry surrounds
with a high quality elastomeric caulk.
Recommended methods for removing light rust include
manual and mechanical abrasion or the application of
chemicals. Burning off rust with an oxy- acetylene or pro-
pane torch, or an inert gas welding gun, should never be
attempted because the heat can distort the metal. In addi-
tion, such intense heat (often as high as 3840° F)
vaporizes the lead in old paint, resulting in highly toxic
fumes. Furthermore, such heat will likely result in broken
glass. Rust can best be removed using a wire brush, an
aluminum oxide sandpaper, or a variety of power tools
4
adapted for abrasive cleaning such as an electric drill with
a wire brush or a rotary whip attachment. Adjacent sills
and window jambs may need protective shielding.
Rust can also be removed from ferrous Metals by using
a number of commercially prepared anti - corrosive acid
compounds, Effective on light and medium corrosion,
these compounds can be purchased either as liquids or
gels. Several bases are available, including phosphoric
acid, ammonium citrate, oxalic acid and hydrochloric
acid. Hydrochloric acid is generally not recommended; it
can leave chloride deposits, which cause future corrosion.
Phosphoric acid - based compounds do not leave such
deposits, and are therefore safer for steel windows.
However, any chemical residue should be wiped off with
damp cloths, then dried immediately. Industrial blow -
dryers work well for thorough drying. The use of running
water to remove chemical residue is never recommended
because the water may spread the chemicals to adjacent
surfaces, and drying of these surfaces may be more dif-
ficult. Acid cleaning compounds will stain masonry;
therefore plastic sheets should be taped to the edge of the
metal sections to protect the masonry surrounds. The
some measure should be followed to protect the glazing
from etching because of acid contact.
Measures that remove rust will ordinarily remove flak-
ing paint as well, Remaining loose or flaking paint can be
removed with a chemical paint remover or with a
pneumatic needle scaler or gun, which comes with a series
of chisel blades and has proven effective in removing flak-
ing paint from metal windows. Well- bonded paint may
serve to protect the metal further from corrosion, and
need not be removed unless paint build -up prevents the
window from closing tightly. The edges should be feath-
ered by sanding to give a good surface for repainting.
Next, any bare metall should be wiped with a cleaning
solvent such as denatured alcohol, and dried immediately
in preparation for the application of an anti- corrosive
primer. Since corrosion can recur very soon after metal
has been exposed to the air, the metal should be primed
immediately after cleaning. Spot priming may be required
periodically as other repairs are undertaken. Anti-
corrosive primers generally consist of oil -alkyd based
paints rich in zinc or zinc chromate.' Red lead is no
longer available because of its toxicity. All metal primers,
however, are toxic to some degree and should be handled
carefully. Two coats of primer are recommended. Manu-
facturer's recommendations should be followed concern-
ing application of primers.
G
Repair in Place
The maintenance procedures described above will be in-
sufficient when corrosion is extensive, or when metal win-
dow sections are misaligned. Medium to heavy corrosion
that has not done any structural damage to the metal sec-
tions can be removed either by using the chemical cleaning
process described under "Routine Maintenance" or by
sandblasting, Since sandblasting can damage.the masonry
surrounds and crack or cloud the glass, metal or plywood
shields should be ,used to protect these materials. The
sandblasting pressure should be low, 80-100 pounds per
square inch, and the grit size should be in the range of
#10445. Glass peening beads (glass pellets) have also been
successfully used in cleaning steel sections. While sand-
blasting equipment comes with various nozzle sizes,
pencil -point blasters are most useful because they give the
operator more effective control over the direction of the
spray. The small aperture of the pencil -point blaster is
also useful in removing dried putty from the metal sec-
tions that hold the glass. As with any cleaning' technique,
once the bare metal is exposed to air, it should be primed
as soon as possible. This includes the inside rabbeted sec-
tion of sash where glazing putty has been removed. To re-
duce the dust, some local codes allow only wet blasting.
In this case, the metal must be dried immediately, general-
ly with a blow -drier (a step that the owner should consider
when calculating the time and expense involved). Either
form of sandblasting metal covered'with,lead paints pro-
duces tonic dust. Proper precautionary measures should
be taken against toxic dust and silica particles.`
Bent or bowed metal sections may be the result of
damage to the window through an impact or corrosive ex-
pansion. if the distortion is not too great, it is possible to
realign the metal sections without removing the window to
a metal fabricator's shop. The glazing is generally remov-
ed and pressure is applied to the bent or bowed section.
In the case of a muntin, a protective 2 x 4 wooden brac-
ing can be placed behind the bent portion and `a wire
cable with a'winch can apply progressively more pressure
over several days until the section is realigned. The 2 x 4
bracing is necessary to distribute the pressure evenly over
the damaged section. Sometimes'a section, such as the
exerted by corrosion and it is often necessary to cut the
metal section to relieve this pressure prior to pressing the
section back into shape and making a welded repair.
Once the metal sections have been cleaned of all corro-
sion and straightened, small holes and uneven areas
resulting from rusting should be filled with a patching
material and sanded smooth to eliminate pockets where
water can accumulate. A patching material of steel fibers
and an epoxy binder may be the easiest to apply. This
steel -based epoxy is available for industrial steel repair; it
can also be found in auto body patching compounds or in
plumber's epoxy. As with any product, it is important to
follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use and .
best results. The traditional patching technique — melting
steel welding rods to fill holes in the metal sections —may
be difficult to apply in some situations; moreover, the
window glass must be removed during the repair process,
or it will crack from the expansion of the heated metal
sections. After these repairs, glass replacement, hinge
lubrication, painting, and other cosmetic repairs can be
undertaken as necessary.

Nlsioriv Buildings, P. 139. (Sa, bibaographyj.
J
To complete the checklist for routine maintenance,
cracked glass, deteriorated glazing compound; missing
screws, and broken fasteners will have to be replaced;
hinges cleaned and lubricated; the metal windows painted,
and the masonry surrounds caulked. If the glazing must
be replaced, all clips, glazing beads, and other fasteners
that hold the glass to the sash should be retained, if possi-
ble, although replacements for these parts are still being
fabricated. When bedding glass, use only glazing com-
pound formulated for metal windows. To clean the hinges
(generally brass or bronze), a cleaning solvent and fine
bronze wool should be used. The hinges should then be
lubricated with a non - greasy lubricant specially for
mulated for metals and with an anti - corrosive agent.
These lubricants are available in a spray dorm and should
be used periodically on frequently opened windows.
Final painting or the windows with ,a paint compatible
with the anti - corrosive primer should proceed on a dry
day. (Paint and primer from the same manufacturer
should be used.) Two coats of finish paint are recom-
mended if the sections have been cleaned to bare metal.
The paint should overlap the glass slightly to insure
weathertightness at that connection. Once the paint dries
thoroughly, a flexible exterior caulk can be applied to
eliminate air and moisture infiltration where the window
and the surrounding masonry meet.
Caulking is generally undertaken after the windows
have received at least one coat of finish paint. The
perimeter of the masonry surround should be caulked
with a flexible clastomeric compound that will adhere well
to both metal and masonry. The caulking used should be
a type intended for exterior application, have a high
tolerance for material movement, be resistant to
ultraviolet light, and have a minimum: durability of 10
years. Three effective compounds (taking price and other
factors into consideration) are polyurethane, vinyl acrylic,
and butyl rubber. In selecting a caulking m 'aterial for a
window retrofit, it is important to remember that the
caulking compound may be covering other materials In a
substrate. In this case, some compounds, such as silicone,
may not adhere well. Almost all modern caulking com-
pounds can be painted after curing completely, Many
come in a range of colors, which eliminates the need to
paint. If colored caulking is used, the windows should
have been given two coats of finish paint prior, to caulk-
ing.
Repair In !Workshop
Damage to windows may be so severe that the window
sash and sometimes the frame must be removed for clean-
ing and extensive rust removal, straightening of bent sec-
tions, welding or splicing in of new sections, and reglaz-
ing. These major and expensive repairs are reserved for
highly significant windows that cannot be replaced; the
procedures involved should be carried out only by skilled
workmen. (see fig. 6a-6f.)
As part of the orderly removal of windows, each win -
dow should be numbered and the parts labelled. The
operable metal sash should be dismantled by removing the
hinges;_ the fmcd sash and, if necessary, the frame can
then be unbolted or unscrewed. (The subfranie is usually
left in place. Built into the masonry surrounds, it can only
be cut out with a torch.) Hardware and hinges should be
labelled and stored together.
The two major choices for removing flaking paint and
corrosion from severely deteriorated windows are dipping
in a chemical bath or sandblasting. Both treatments re-
quire removal of the glass. If the windows are to be dip-
ped, a phosphoric acid solution is preferred, as mentioned
earlier. While the dip tank method is good for fairly even-
ly distributed rust, deep set rust may remain after dipping.
For that reason, sandblasting is more effective for heavy
and uneven corrosion. Both methods leave the metal sec-
tions clean of residual paint. As already noted, after
cleaning has exposed the metal to the air, it should be
primed immediately after drying with an anti- corrosive
primer to prevent rust from recurring.
Sections that are seriously bent or bowed must be
straightened with heat and applied pressure in a
workshop. Structurally weakened sections must be cut
out, generally with an oxy- acetylene torch, and replaced
with sections welded in place and the welds ground
smooth. Finding replacement metal sections, however,
may be difficult. While most rolling mills are producing-
modern sections suitable for total replacement, it may be
difficult to find an exact profile match for a splicing
repair. The best source of rolled metal sections is from
salvaged windows, preferably from the same building. if
no salvaged windows are available, two options remain.
Either an ornamental metal fabricator can weld flat plates
into a built -up section, or a steel plant can mill bar steel
into the desired profile,
While the sash and frame are removed for repair, the
subframe and masonry surrounds should be inspected.
This is also the time to reset sills or to remove corrosion
from the subframe, taking care to protect the masonry
surrounds from damage.
Missing or broken hardware and hinges should be
replaced on all windows that will be operable. Salvaged
windows; again, are the best source of replacement parts.
If matching parts cannot be found, it may be possible to
adapt ready -made items. Such a substitution may require
filling existing holes with steel epoxy or with plug welds
and tapping in new screw holes. However, if the hardware
is a highly significant element of the historic window, it
may worth having reproductions made.
Following are illustrations of the repair and thermal
upgrading of the rolled steel windows in a National
Historic Landmark (fig. 6). Many of the techniques
described above were used during this extensive rehabilita-
tion. The complete range of repair techniques is then sum-

Historic metal windows are generally not energy efficient;
this has often led to their wholesale replacement. Metal
windows can, however, be made more energy efficient in
several ways, varying in complexity and cost. Caulking
around the masonry openings and adding weatherstrip-
ping, for example, can be do- it- yourself projects and are
important first steps in reducing air infiltration around the
windows. They usually have a rapid payback period.
Other treatments include applying fixed layers of glazing
over the historic windows, adding operable storm win-
dows, or installing thermal glass in place of the existing
glass. In combination with caulking and weatherstripping,
these treatments can produce energy ratings rivaling those
achieved by new units.'
Weatherstripping
The first step in any weatherization program, caulking,
has been discussed above under "Routine Maintenance."
The second step is the installation of weatherstripping
where the operable portion of the sash, often called the
ventilator, and the fixed frame come together to reduce
perimeter air infiltration (see fig. 8). Four types of
weatherstripping appropriate for metal windows are
spring - metal, vinyl strips, compressible foam tapes, and
sealant beads. The spring- metal, with an integral friction
fit mounting clip, is recommended for steel windows in
good condition. The clip eliminates the need for anap-
plied glue; the thinness of the material insures a tight
closure. The weatherstripping is clipped to the inside
channel of the rolled metal section of the fixed frame. To
insure against galvanic corrosion between the weather-
stripping torten bronze or orass /, ana the steel winnow,
the window must be painted prior to the installation of
the weatherstripping. This weatherstripping is usually at
plied to the entire perimeter of the window opening, bu
in some cases, such as casement windows, it may be bw

tes an adequate seal.
can also be applied to metal win-
lows. Folded into it "V" configuration, the material
forms a barrier' against the wind. Vinyl weatherstripping is
usually glued to the frame, although some brands have an
adhesive backing. As the vinyl material and the applied
glue are relatively thick, this form of weatherstripping
may not be appropriate for all situations.
Compressible foam tape weatherstripping is often best
for large windows where there is a slight bending or
distortion of the sash. In some very tall windows having
closure hardware at the sash mid- point, the thin sections

of the metal window will bow away from the frame near
the top. If the gap is not more than 1/4 ", foam
weatherstripping can normally fill the space. If the gap ex-
ceeds this, the window may need to be realigned to close
more tightly. The foam weatherstripping comes either
with an adhesive or plain back; the latter variety requires
application with gloc. Compressible foam requires more
frequent replacement than either spring -metal or vinyl
A fourth type of successful weatherstripping involves
the use of a caulking or sealant bead and a polyethylene
bond breaker tape. After the window frame has been
thoroughly cleaned with solvent, permitted to dry, and
primed, a neat bead of low modulus (firm setting) caulk,
such as silicone, is applied. A bond breaker tape is then
applied to the operable sash covering the metal section
where contact will occur. The window is then closed until
the sealant has set (2 -7 days, depending on temperature
and humidity). When the window is opened, the bead will
have taken the shape of the air infiltration gap and the
bond breaker tape can be removed. This weatherstripping
method appears to be successful for all types of metal
windows with varying degrees of air infiltration.
Since the several'. types of weatherstripping are ap-
propriate for different circim3stances, it may be necessary
to use more than one type on any given building. Suc-
cessful weatherstripping depends upon using the thinnest
material adequate to fill the space through which air
enters. Weatherstripping that is too thick can spring the
hinges, thereby resulting in more gaps.

The third weatherization. treatment is to install an addi-
tional layer of glazing to improve the thermal efficiency,
of the existing window. The decision to pursue this treat-
ment should proceed from careful analysis, Each of the
most common techniques for adding a layer of glazing
will effect approximately the same energy savings (approx-
imately double the original insulating value of the win-
dows); therefore, cost and aesthetic considerations usually
determine the choice of method. Methods of adding a
layer of glazing to improve thermal efficiency include ad-
ding a new layer of transparcnt material to the window;
adding a separate storm window; and replacing the single
layer of glass in the window with thermal glass.
The least expensive of these options is to install a clear
material (usually rigid sheets of acrylic or glass) over the
original window, The choice between acrylic and glass Is .
generally based on cost, ability of the window to support
the material, and long -term maintenance outlook. If the
material is placed over the entire window and secured to
the frame, the sash will be inoperable. if the continued
use of the window is important (for ventilation or for fire
exits), separate panels should be affixed to the sash
without obstructing operability (see fig, 9). Glass or
acrylic panels set in frames can be attached using mag-
netized gaskets, interlocking material strips, screws or
adhesives. Acrylic panels can be screwed directly to
the metal windows, but the holes in the acrylic panels
should allow for the expansion and contraction of this
material. A compressible gasket between the prime sash
and the storm panel can be very effective in establishing
thermal cavity between glazing; layers. To avoid condensa-
tion, 1/8" cuts in a top corner and diagonally opposite
bottom corner of the gasket will provide a vapor bleed,
through which moisture can evaporate. (Such cuts, how -
ever, reduce thermal performance slightly.) If condensa-
tion does occur, however, the panels should be easily re-
movable in order to wipe away moisture before it causes
The second method of adding a layer of glazing is to
have independent storm windows fabricated. (Pivot and
austral windows, however, which project on either side of
the window frame when open, cannot easily be fitted with
storm windows and remain operational.) The storm win-
dow should be compatible with the original sash con-
figuration. For example, in paired easement windows,
either specially fabricated storm casement windows or
sliding units in which the vertical meeting rail of the slider
reflects the configuration of the original window should
be installed. The decision to place storm windows on the
inside or outside of the window depends on whether the
historic window opens in or out, and on the visual impact
the addition of storm windows will have on the building.
Exterior storm windows, however, can serve another pur-
pose besides saving energy: they add a layer of protection
against air pollutants and vandals, although they will par-
tially obscure the prime window. For highly ornamental
windows this protection can determine the choice of ex-
terior rather then interior storm windows.

dow may be justified. In the case of significant windows,
replacement in kind is essential in order to maintain the
historic character of the building. However, for less
significant windows, replacement with compatible new
windows may be acceptable. In selecting compatible
replacement windows, the material, configuration, color,
operability, number and size of panes, profile and propor-
tion of metal sections, and reflective quality of the
original glass should be duplicated as closely as possible.
A number of metal window manufacturing companies
produce rolled steel windows. While stock modern win-
dow designs do not share the multi -pane configuration of
11
historic windows, most of these manufacturers can
reproduce the historic configuration if requested, and the
cost is not excessive for large orders (sce figs. 10a and
10b). Some manufacturers still carry the standard pre -
World War 11 multi -light windows using the traditional
12" x 18" or 14" x 20" glass sizes in industrial, commer-
cial, security, and residential configurations. In addition,
many of the modern steel windows have integral
weatherstripping, thermal break construction, durable
vinyl coatings, insulating glass, and other desirable
features.
Parrott.
Windows manufactured from other materials generally
cannot match the thin profiles of the rolled steel sections.
Aluminum, for example, is three times weaker than steel
and must be extruded into a box -like configuration that
does not reflect the thin historic profiles of most steel
windows. Wooden and vinyl replacement windows
generally are not fabricated in the industrial style, nor can
they reproduce the thin profiles of the rolled steel sec-
tions, and consequently are generally not acceptable
replacements.
For product information on replacement windows, the
owner, architect, or contractor should consult manufac-
turers' catalogues, building trade journals, or the Steel
Window Institute, 1230 Reith Building, Cleveland, Ohio
44115.
UUMUEM
The National Park Service recommends the retention of
significant historic metal windows whenever possible.
Stich windows, which can be a character - defining feature
of a historic building, are too often replaced with inap-
propriate units that impair rather than complement the
overall historic appearance. The repair and thermal
upgrading of historic steel windows is more practicable
than most people, realize. Repaired and properly maintain-
ed metal windows have greatly extended service lives.
They can be made energy efficient while maintaining their
contribution to the historic character of the building.

Brief History of Use and Manufacture
The ancient Romans found that a mixture of lone putty
and pozzolana, a fine volcanic ash, would harden
under water. The resulting hydraulic cement became
a major feature of Roman building practice, and was
used in many buildings and engineering projects
such as bridges and aqueducts. Concrete tecluiology
was kept alive during the Middle Ages in Spain and
Africa. The Spanish introduced a form of concrete to
the New World ur the first decades of the sixteenth
century, referred to.as "tapia" or "tabby." This material,

Extensive construction in concrete also occurred through
the system of coastal fortifications commissioned by the
federal government in the 18905 for the Atlantic, Pacific,
and Gulf coasts, Unlike most concrete construction
to that time, the special requirements of coastal
fortifications called for concrete walls as much as 20 feet
thick, often at sites that were difficult to access. Major
structures in the coastal defenses of the '1890s were built
of mass concrete with no internal reinforcing;, a practice
that was replaced by the use of reinforcing bars in
fortifications constructed after about 1905.
The use of reinforced concrete in the United States dates
from 1860, when S.T. Fowler obtained a patent for a
reinforced concrete wall In the early 1870s, William E.
Ward built his own house in Port Chester, New York,
using concrete reinforced with iron rods for all structural
elements. Despite these developments, such construction
remained a novelty until after 1880, when innovations
introduced by Ernest L. Ransome made the use of
reinforced concrete more practicable, Ransome made
many contributions to the development of concrete
construction technology, including the use of twisted
reinforcing bars to improve bond between the concrete
and the steel, which he patented in 1884. Two years later,
Ransome introduced the rotary kiln to United ,States
cement production. The new kiln had greater capacity
and burned more thorouglily and uniformly, allowing
development of a less expensive, more uniform, and
more reliable manufactured cement. Improvements in
concrete production initiated by Ransom led to a much
greater acceptance of concrete after 1900.

Highway as an example. Concrete "seedling miles"
were constructed in remote areas to emphasize the
superiority of concrete over unimproved dirt. The
Association believed that as people learned about
concrete, they would press the government to construct
good roads throughout their states. Americans'
enthusiasm for good roads led to the involvement
of die federal government in road - building and the
creation of numbered U.S. routes in the 1920s (Fig. 3).
During the early twentieth century, Ernest Ransome
in Beverly, Massachusetts, Albert Kahn in Detroit, and
Richard E. Schmidt in Chicago, promoted concrete
for use in "Factory Style' utilitarian buildings with
an exposed concrete frame infilled with expanses
of glass. Thomas Edison's cast -in -place reinforced
concrete homes in Union Township, New Jersey
(1903), proclaimed a similarly functional emphasis
in residential construction. From the 1920s onward,
concrete began to be used with spectacular design
results: examples include John J. Earley 's Meridian
Nill Park in Washington, D.C.; Louis Bourgeois'
exuberant, graceful.6aha'i Temple in Wilmette, tlinois
(1920- 1953), for which Earley fabricated the concrete
(Fig. 4); and Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater
near Bear Run, Pennsylvania (1934). Continuing
improvements in quality control and development
of innovative fabrication processes, such as the
Shockbeton method for precast concrete, provided
increasing opportunities for architects and engineers.

York (1962), exemplify the masterful use of concrete
achieved in the modern era (Fig. 5).

concrete as a practical and cost - effective choice —and
concrete also became valued forfts aesthetic qualities.
Cast in place and precast concrete were readily adapted
to the Streamlined Moderne style, as exemplified by the
Bailey Magnet School in Jackson, Mississippi, designed
as the Jackson junior High School by N.W. Overstreet
& Town in 1936 (Figs. 6 and 7). The school is one of
many concrete buildings designed and constructed
under the auspices of the public Works Administration.
Recreational structures and landscape features also
utilized the structural range and unique character of
exposed concrete to advantage, as seen in Chicago's
Lincoln Park Chess Pavilion, designed by Morris
Webster in 1956 (Fig. B), and the Ira C. Keller Fountain
in Portland Oregon, designed by Lawrence Halprin in
1969 (Fig. 9). Concrete was also popular for building
interiors, with ornamental features and exposed

Concrete Characteristics
Concrete is composed of fine (sand) and
coarse (crushed stone or gravel) aggregates
and paste made of portland cement and water.
The predominant material in terms of bulk is
the aggregate. Portland cement is the Under
most commonly used In modern concrete.It
is commercially manufactured by hlexluig
limestone or chalk with clays that contain
alumina, silica, lime, iron oxide and magnesia,
and heating the compounds together to high
temperatures. The hydration process that
occurs between the portland cement and water
results in formation of an all <ali paste that
surrounds and binds the aggregate together as
a solid mass,
The ,quality of the Concrete is dependent on
the ratio of water to the binder, binder content;
sound, durable, and well - graded aggregates;
compaction during placement; and proper
curing. The amount of water used in the mix
affects the concrete permeability and strength.
The use of excess water beyond that required
in the hydration process results in more
permeable concrete, which is more susceptible
to weathering and deterioration. Admixtures
are commonly added to concrete to adjust
concrete properties such as setting or hardening
time, requirements for water, workability, and
other characteristics. For example, the advent
of air entraiining agents in the 1930s provided
enhanced durability for concrete.

was acknowledged. Requirements for concrete
cover over reinforcing steel, increased cement
content, decreased water- cement ratio, and air
entrainment all contributed to greater concrete
strength and improved durability.
Mechanisms and Modes of
Deterioration
Causes of Deterioration
Concrete deterioration occurs pr?marlly because
of corrosion of the embedded steel, degradation
of the concrete itself, use of improper techniques
or materials in construction, or structural
problems. The causes of concrete deterioration
must be understood in order to select an
appropriate repair and protection system.
water vapor, or high relative
hrmudity, corrosion of the
steel reinforcing takes place. A
reduction in atkahrity, results
from carbonation, a process that
occurs when the carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere reacts with
calcium hydroxide and moisture
in the concrete. Carbonation
starts at the concrete's exposed
surface but may extend to the
reinforcing steel over time.
When carbonation reaches
the metal reinforcement, the
concrete no longer protects the
steel from corrosion.
Corrosion of embedded
reinforcing steel may be
initiated and accelerated if
calciu n chloride was added to
the Concrete as a.set accelerator
during original construction
to promote more rapid curing.
It may also take place if the
concrete is later exposed to
deicing salts, as may occur
during the winter in northern
climates. Seawater or other
marine environments can

inadequately washed original aggregate or from
exposure of the concrete to seawater.
Corrosion- related damage to reinforced concrete is
the result of rust, a product of the corrosion process of
steel, which expands and thus requires more space in
the concrete than the steel did at the time of installation.
'this change in volume of the steel results in expansive
forces, which cause cracking and spalling of the
adjacent concrete (Fig: '12). Other signs of corrosion of
embedded steel include delamination of the concrete
(planar separations parallel to the surface) and rust
staining (often a precursor to spalling) on the concrete
near the steel.
Problems Specifically Encntmlered with
Historic Concrete
Materials and workmanship used in the construction
of historic concrete sh•uctures, particularly those built
before the First World War, sometimes present potential
sources of problems. For example, where the aggregate
consisted of cinder from burned coal or crushed brick,
Figure 12. 77re concrete lighthouse at the Kilanen Point
Light Station, Kilauea, Kauai, Nanraii, was cons ritoted
ebcn 3919. Die concrete, which was a good guoUitis, high
strength mix firr ils day, is in good condition nfier abnost
one hundred yens in service. Deterioration in,the form of
spalling related to corrosion of embedded reinforcing, steel
has occurred prirnnril y in areas of higher ornamentation
such as projecting bards and brackets (see close -up photo),
the concrete tends to be weak and porous
because these aggregates absorb water. Some of
these aggregates can be extremely susceptible
to deterioration when exposed to moisture
and cyclic freezing and thawing. Concrete
was sometimes compromised by inclusion of
seawater or beach sand that was not thoroughly
washed with fresh water, a condition more
common with coastal fortifications built prior to
1900. The sodium chloride present in seawater
and beach sand accelerates the rate of corrosion
of the reinforced concrete.
Another problem encountered with historic
concrete is related to poor consolidation of the
concrete during its placement in forms, or in molds in the case
of precasting. This problem is especially prevalent in highly
ornamental units. Early twentieth century concrete was often
tamped or rodded into place, similar to techniques used in
forming cast stone. poorly consolidated concrete often contains
voids ( "bugholes" or "honeycombs "), which can reduce the
protective concrete cover over the embedded reinforcing
bars, entrap water, and, if sufficiently large and strategically
numerous, reduce localized concrete strength. Vibration
technology has improved over time and flowability agents are
also used today to address this problem.
A common type of deterioration observed in concrete is the
effect of weathering from exposure to wind, min, snow, and
salt water or spray. Weathering appears as erosion of the
cement paste, a condition more prevalent in northern regions
where precipitation can be highly acidic. This results in the
exposure of the aggregate particles on the exposed concrete
surface. Variations may occur in the aggregate exposure due
to differential erosion or dissolution of exposed cement paste.
Erosion can also be caused by the mechanical action of water
channeled over concrete, such as by the lack of drip grooves in
belt courses and sills, and by inadequate drainage. In addition,
high - pressure water when used for cleaning can also erode the
concrete surface.
In concrete structures built prior to the First World War,
concrete was often placed into forms in relatively short
vertical lifts dire to limitations in lifting and pouring
techniques available at the time. Joints between different
concrete placements (often termed cold joints or lift lines) may
sometimes be considered an important part of the character of
a concrete cleinent (Fig. 13). However, wide joints may permit
water to infiltrate the concrete, resulting in more rapid paste
erosion or freeze -thaw deterioration of adjacent concrete in
cold climates.
In the early twentieth century, concrete was sometimes placed
in several layers parallel to the exterior surface. A base concrete
was first created with formwork and then a more cement rich
mortar layer was applied to the exposed vertical face of the
constructed in 1898. 77re lift lines frwn placement of concrete are clearly

base concrete. The higher cement content in the facing
concrete provided a more water - resistant outer layer
and finished surface. The application of a cement rich
top layer, referred to in some early concrete publications
as "waterproofing," was also used on top surfaces of
concrete walls, or as the top layerin sidewalks. With this
type of concrete construction, deterioration can Occur
over time as a result of debonding, between layers, and '
can proceed very rapidly once the protective cement -rich
layer begins to break clown.
It is common for historic concrete to have a highly
variable appearance, including color and finish texture.
Different levels of aggregate exposure due to paste
erosion are often found in exposed aggregate concrete.
This variability in the appearance of historic concrete
increases the level of difficulty in assessing and repairing
weathered concrete.
Signs of Distress and Deterioration
Characteristic signs of failure in concrete include
cracking; spalling, staining, and deflection. Cracking
occurs in most concrete but will vary in depth, width,
direction, pattern, and location; and can be either active
or dormant (inactive). Active cracks can widen, deepen,
or migrate through the concrete, while dormant cracks
remain relatively unchanged in size. Some dormant
cracks, such as those caused by early age shrinkage of
the concrete during curing, are not a structural concern
but when left unrepaired, can provide convenient
channels for moisture penetration and subsequent
darnage. Random surface cracks, also called map cracks
due to their resemblance to lines on a map, are usually
related to early -age shrinkage but may also indicate
other types of deterioration such as alkali- silica reaction.
Structural cracks can be caused by temporary or
continued. overloads, uneven foundation settling, seismic
forces, or original design inadequacies: Structural cracks
are active if excessive loads are applied to a structure, ff
the overload is continuing, or ifsettlement is ongoing.
These cracks are dormant if the temporary overloads
have been removed or if differential settlement has
stabilized, Thermally - induced cracks result from
stresses produced by the expansion and contraction
of the concrete during temperature changes. These
cracks frequently occur at the ends or re- entrant corners
of older concrete structures that were built without
expansion joints to relieve such stress.
Spalling (the loss of surface material) is often associated
with freezing and thawing as well as cracking and
delaminaton of the concrete cover over embedded
reinforcing steel. Spilling occurs when reinforcing
bars corrode and the corrosion by- products expand,
creating high stresses on the adjacent concrete, which
cracks and is displaced. Spilling can also occur when
water absorbed by the concrete freezes and thaws (Fig.
14). In addition, surface spalling or scaling may result
from the improper finishing, forming, or other surface

phenomena when water -rich cement paste;(laitance)
rises to the surface. The resulting weak material is
vulnerable to spalling of thin layers, or scaling. In some
cases, spalling of the concrete can diminish the load-
carrying capacity of the structure.
Deflection is the bending or sagging of structural beams,
joists, or slabs, and can be an indication of deficiencies in
the strength and structural soundness of concrete. This
condition can be produced by overloading, corrosion
of embedded reinforcing, or inadequate design or
construction, such is use of low - strength concrete or
undersized reinforcing bars.
Staining of the concrete surface can be related to soiling
from atmospheric pollutants or other contaminants,
dirt accumulation, and the presence of organic growth.
However, stains can also indicate more serious
underlying problems, such as corrosion of embedded
reinforcing steel, improper previous surface treatments,
alkali- aggregate reaction, or efflorescence, the deposition
of soluble salts on the surface of the concrete as a result
of water migration (Fig. 15).
Planning fur Concrete Pr6ervation
The significance of a historic concrete building or
structure — including whether it is important for its
architectural or engineering design, for its materials
and construction techniques, or both — guides decision
making about repair and, if needed, replacement
methods. Determining the causes of deterioration is also
central to the development of a conservation and repair
plan. With historic concrete buildings, one of the more
difficult challenges is allowing for sufficient time during
the planting phase to analyze the concrete; develop
mixes, and provide time for adequate aging of mock -ups
for matching to the original concrete.
An understanding of the original construction
techniques (cement characteristics, mix design, original
intent of assembly, type of placement, precast versus
cast in place, etc.) and previous repair work performed
on the concrete is important in determining causes
of existing deterioration and the susceptibility of the
structure to potential other types of deterioration.
For example, concrete placed in short lifts (individual
concrete placements) or constructed in precast segments
will have numerous joints that can provide entry points
for water infiltration. Inappropriate prior repairs, such
as installation of patches using an incompatible material,
can affect the future performance of the concrete. Such
prior repairs may require corrective work,
As with other preservation projects, three primary
approaches are usually considered for historic concrete
structures: maintenance, repair, or replacement.
Maintenance and repair best achieve the preservation
goal of minimal intervention and the greatest retention
of existing historic fabric. However, where elements of
the building are severely deteriorated or where inherent
problems with the material lead to ongoing failures,
replacement may be necessary.
During planning, information is gathered through
research, visual survey, inspection openings, and
laboratory studies. 'Fhe material should then be
reviewed by professionals experienced in concrete
deterioration to help evaluate the nature and causes of
the concrete problems, to assess both the short -tern and
long -term effects of the deterioration, and to formulate
proper repair approaches.
Condition Assessment
A condition assessment of a concrete building or
structure should begin with a review of all available
documents related to original construction and prior
repairs. While plans and specifications for older
concrete buildings are not always available, they can
be an Invaluable resource and every attempt should be
made to find them. They may.provide information on
the composition of the concrete mix or on the type and
location of reinforcing bars. If available, doCnments
related to past repairs should also be reviewed to

and deterioration. The American Concrete Institute
offers several useful guides on how to perform a visual
condition survey of concrete. Generally, the condition
assessment begins with an overall visual survey,
followed by a close -up investigation of representative
areas to obtain more detailed information about modes
of deterioration.
A number of nondestructive testing methods can be
used in the field to evaluate concealed conditions. Basic
techniques include sounding with a hand -held hammer
(or for horizontal surfaces, a chain) to help identify areas
of delamination..MOre sophisticated techniques include
impact -echo testing (Fig. 6); ground penetrating radar,
pulse velocity, and other methods that characterize
concrete thickness and locate voids ordelaminations.
Magnetic detection instruments are used to locate
embedded reinforcing steel and can be calibrated to
identify the size and depth of reinforcement Corrosion
sulfate half -cell tests or linear polarization techniques to
determine the probability or rate of active corrosion of
the reinforcing steel.
To further evaluate the condition of the concrete,
samples may be removed for laboratory study to
determine material components and composition,
and causes of deterioration. Samples need to be
representative of existing conditions but should be taken
from unobtrusive locations. Laboratory studies of the
concrete may include petrographic evaluation following
ASTM C856, Practice for Petrographic G.tnniination
of'Hardened Concrete. Petrographic examination,
consisting of microscopical studies performed by a
geologist specializing In the evaluation of construction
materials, is performed to determine air content, water -
cement ratio, cement content, and general aggregate
characteristics. Laboratory studies can also include

concrete and provide Information for repair work. The
laboratory studies provide a general identification of
the original concretes components and aggregates,
and evidence of damage due to various mechanisms
including cyclic freezing and thieving, alkali- aggregate
reactivity, or sulfate attack. Information gathered
through laboratory studies can also be used to help
develop a mix design for the repair concrete.
cleaning
As with other historic structures, concrete structures are
cleaned for several reasons: to improve the appearance
of the concrete, as a cyclical maintenance measure, or
in preparation for repairs. Consideration should first be
given to whether the historic concrete structure needs to
be cleaned at all. If cleaning is required, then the gentlest
system that will be effective should be selected.
Three primary methods are used for cleaning concrete:
water methods, abrasive surface treatments, and
chemical surface treatments. Low- pressure water (less
than 200 psi) or steam cleaning can effectively remove
surface soiling, from sound concrete; however, care is
required on fragile or deteriorated surfaces. In addition,
water and steam methods are typically not effective in
removing staining or severe soiling. Power washing
with high- pressure water is sometimes used to clean or
remove coatings from sound, high- strength concrete, but
high- pressure water washing is generally damaging to
and not appropriate for concrete on historic structures.

stub to help determine depth of deterioration. In this arethod, a short

mmmled on the impacted snrfac'e of the structure receives the
reflected input waves at echoes. These waves are analyzed to help
identify flaws and deterioration ¢within Ilre concrete.
surface treatments using very fine particulates, such
as dolomitic limestone powder, can sometimes clean
effectively. However, inicroabrasive cleaning may alter
the texture and surface reflectivity of concrete. Some
concrete can be damaged even by tine particulates
applied at very low pressures.
Chemical surface treatments can clean effectively
but may also alter the appearance of the concrete by
bleaching the concrete, removing the paste, etching
the aggregate, or otherwise altering the surface.
Detergent cleaners or mild, diluted acid cleaners may
be appropriate for removal of staining or severe soiling.
Cleaning products that contain strong acids such as
hydrochloric (muriatic) or hydrofluoric acid, which will
damage concrete and are harmful to persons, animals,
site features, and the environment, should not be used.
For any cleaning process, trial samples should be
performed prior to full-scale implementation. The
intent of the cleaning program should not be to return'
the structure to a like new appearance. Concrete can
age gracefully, and as long as soiling is not severe or
deleterious, many structures can still be appreciated
without extensive cleaning.
Methods of Maintenance and Repair
The maintenance of historic concrete often is thought of i
in terms of appropriate cleaning to remove unattractive;
dirt or soiling materials. However, the implementation
of an overall maintenance plan for a historic structure is
the most effective way to help protect historic concrete.
For examples, the lack of maintenance to roofs and
drainage systems can promote water related damage
to adjacent concrete features. The repeated use of
deicing salts in winter dimates can pit the surface of old
concrete and also may promote decay in embedded steel
reinforcements. Inadequate protection of concrete walls
adjacent to driveways and parking areas can result in the
need for repair work later on.
The maintenance of historic concrete involves the regular
inspection of concrete to establish baseline conditions;
and identify needed repairs. Inspection tasks involve .
monitoring protection systems, including sealant joints,
expansion joints, and protective coatings; reviewing
existing conditions for development of distress such as
cracking and delaminations; documenting conditions
observed; and developing and implementing a cyclical
repair program.
Sealants are an important part of maintenance of historic
concrete structures. Elastomeric sealants, which have
replaced traditional oil -resin based caulks for many
applications, are used to seal cracks and joints- to keep
out moisture and reduce air infiltration. Sealants are
commonly used at windows and door perimeters,
at interfaces between concrete and other materials,
and at attachments to or through walls or roofs, such
as with lamps, signs, or exterior plumbing fixtures.

surface to ntateh the adjacent original concrete.
Where used for crack repairs on historic facades, the
finished appearance of the sealant application must
be considered, as it may be visually intrusive. In some
cases, sand can be broadcast onto the surface of the
sealant to help conceal the repair.
Urethane and polyurethane sealants are often used to
seal joints and cracks in concrete structures, paving,
and walkways; these sealants provide a service life of
up to ten years, High - performance silicone sealants
also are often used with concrete, as they provide a
range of movement capabilities and a service life of
twenty years or more. Some silicone sealants may stain
adjacent materials, which may be a problem with more
porous concrete, and may also tend to accumulate
dust and dirt. The effectiveness of sealants for sealing
joints and cracks depends on numerous factors
including proper surface preparation and application.
Sealants should be examined as part of routine
maintenance inspections, as these materials deteriorate
faster dian their substrates and must be replaced
periodically as a part of cyclical maintenance.
Repair of historic concrete may be required to

An appropriate repair program addresses existing
distress and reduces the rate of future deterioration,
which in many cases involves moisture- related issues.
The repair program should incorporate materials and
methods that are sympathetic to the existing materials
in character and appearance, and which provide good
long -term performance, In addition, repair materials
Should age and weather similarly to the original
materials. In order to best adveve these goals, concrete
repair projects should be divided into three phases:

well as implementation of quality - control measures. The
h iaL repair process provides an opportunity for the owner,
architect, engineer, and contractor to evaluate the concrete
mix design and the installation and finishing techniques for
the repairs from both technical and aesthetic standpoints.
The final repair materials and procedures should match
the original concrete in appearance while meeting the
established criteria for durability. Information gathered
through trial repairs and nick -ups is invaluable in refining
the construction documents prior to the start of the overall
repair project (Fig. 17).
Surface Preparation
In undertaking surface preparation for historic concrete
repair, care must be taken to limit removal of existing
material while still providing an appropriate substrate for
repairs. This is particularly important where ornamentation
and fine details are involved. Preparation for localized
repairs usually begins with removal of the loose concrete
to determine the general extent of the repair, followed by
saw - cutting the perimeter of the repair area. The repair area
should extend beyond the area of concrete deterioration
to a sufficient extent to provide a sound substrate. When
repairing concrete with an exposed aggregate or other
special surface texture, a sawcut edge maybe too visually
evident. To hide the repair edge, techniques such as lightly
hand - chipping the edge of the patch may be used to
conceal the joint between the original concrete and the new
repair material. The depth to which the concrete needs to

original concrete surfaces should be protested during this
work. In some cases, project constraints such as dust control
may limit the ability to thoroughly clean the concrete and
steel. For example, it may be necessary to use needle scaling
(a small pneumatic impact device) and wire brushing
instead of sandblasting.
Supplemental steel may be needed when existing
reinforcing steel is severely deteriorated, or if reinforcing
steel is not present in repair areas. Exposed existing

to cement ratio. Some admixtures, including polyuaer modifiers,
may change the appearance of the concrete mix. Design of the
concrete patching material should address characteristics required
for durability, workability, strength gain, compressive strength,
and other performance attributes. During installation of the
repair, skilled workmanship is required to ensure proper mixing
procedures, placement, consolidation, and curing.
Matching and Repair Techniques for Historic Concrete
Repair measures should be selected that retain as nines of the
original material as possible, while providing for removal of an
adequate amount of deteriorated concrete to provide a sound
substrate for a durable repair. The installed repair must visually
match the existing concrete as closely as possible and should be
similar in other aspects such as compressive strength, permeability,
and other characteristics important in the mix design of the
concrete (Pig. 18).
Understanding the original construction techniques often provides
opportunities in the design of repairs. For example, joints between
the new and old concrete can be hidden in changes in surface
profile and cold joints. The required patching mix for the concrete
to be used in the repair will likely need to be specially designed
to replicate the appearance of the adjacent historic concrete. A
high level of craftsmanship is required for finishing of historic
concrete, in particular to create the sometimes inconsistent finish
and variation in the original concrete in contrast to die more even
appearance required for most non - historic repairs.
To match the various characteristics of the original concrete, trial
mixes should be developed. These mixes need to take into account
the types and colors of aggregates and paste present in the original
concrete. Different mixes may be needed because of variations
in the appearance and composition of the historic concrete. The
trials should utilize different forming and finishing techniques
to,achieve tine best possible match to the original concrete. Initial
trials should first take place on site but off the structure. The mix
designs providing the best match are then installed as trial repairs
on the structure, and assessed after they have cured.
than trowel- applied patch repairs are recommended for durability,
as forming permits better ranges of mix ingredients (such as coarse
aggregates) and improved consolidation as compared to trowel -
applied repairs: Parge coatings usually are not recommended
as they do not provide as durable repair as formed concrete.
However, in some cases parge coatings may be appropriate to
match an original parged surface treatment. Proper placement
and finishing of Hie repair are important to obtain a match with
the original concrete. To minimize problems associated with rapid
curing of concrete, such as surface cracking, it important to use
proper curing methods and to allow for sufficient time.
Hairline cracks that show no sign of increasing in size may often
be left unrepaired. The width of the crack and the amoumt of
movement usually limits the selection of crack repair techniques
that are available. Although it is difficult to determine whether
cracks are moving or non - moving, and therefore most cracks
should be assumed to be moving., it is possible to repair
non - moving cracks by installation of a cementifious
repair mortar matching; the adjacent concrete. It is
generally desirable not widen cracks prior to the mortar
application. Repair mortar containing sand in the mix may
be used for wider cracks; unsanclecl repair mortar may be
used for Harrower cracks.
When it is desirable to re- establish the structural integrity
of a concrete structure involving dormant cracks, epoxy
injection repair has proven to be an effective procedure.
Such a repair is made by first sealing the crack on both sides
of a wall or structural member with epoxy, polyester, wax,
tape, or cement sh rry, and then injecting epoxy through
small holes or ports drilled in the concrete. Once the epoxy
in the crack has hardened, the surface sealing material
may be removed; however, this type of repair is usually
quite apparent. Although it may possible to inject epoxy
without leaving noticeable residue, this process is difficult
and, in general, the use of epoxy repairs in visible areas of
concrete on historic structures is not recommended.
Active structural cracks (which move as loads are
added or removed) and thermal cracks (which move as
temperatures fluctuate) must be repaired in a manner that
will accommodate the anticipated movement, in sonic more
extreme cases, expansion joints may have to be introduced
before crack repairs are undertaken. Active cracks may
be filled with sealants that will adhere to the sides of
the cracks and will compress or expand during crack
movement. 71re design,; detailing, and execution of sealant
repairs require considerable attention, or they will detract
from the appearance of the historic building. The routing
and cleaning of a crack, and installation of an elastomeric .
sealant to prevent water penetration, is used to address
cracks where movement is anticipated: However, unless
located in a concealed area of the concrete, this technique
is often not acceptable for historic structures because the
repair will be visually, intrusive (Pig. 19), Other approaches,
such as installation of a cementitous crack repair, may need
to be considered even though this type of repair may be less
effective or have a shorter service life than a sealant repair.
Replacement
If specific components of historic concrete structures are
beyond repair, replacement components can be cast to
match historic ones. Replacement of original concrete
shoudd be carefully considered and viewed as a method of
last resort. In some cases, such as for repeated ornamental
units, it may be more cost - effective to fabricate precast
concrete units to replace missing elements. The forms
created for precast or cast -in -place units can then be used
again during future repair projects.
Careful mix formulation, placement, and finishing are
required to ensure that replacement concrete units will
match the historic concrete. There is often a tendency to
make replacement concrete more consistent in appearance
than the original concrete. The consistency can be in
stark contrast with the variability of the original concrete

Report of Existing Apartment Complex designated as City of Santa Monica Landmark.
947 - 95311Th Street
Santa Monica, California 90403
The intent of this report is to generally describe the condition of the existing buildings on
site along with describing the character - defining features of the above referenced
location.
• •
Constructed in 1937, the subject property is an example of the Streamline Moderne
architectural style as applied to a multifamily dwelling and exhibits a high degree of
architectural integrity that manifests multi- family residential courtyard development
patterns that were prevalent in Santa Monica during the late 1930's. The property was
built by E.P Fitzgerald and originally known as the Fitzgerald Apartments. The subsequent
owner, T. Voss added an additional set of apartments and re -named the property as the
Voss Apartments. In June, 2014, the main buildings surrounding the courtyard were
designated by the Santa Monica Landmarks Commission as a City of Santa Monica
Landmark.
The property occupies two adjacent lots, each approximately 50'x150', and is situated
between 11th Street to the west and a vehicle access alley to the east. There are no curb
cuts onto the property, but the alley accesses 10 single car garage stalls. The property has
a central landscape courtyard with sidewalks leading up to unit access.
The property was purchased in December 2012 by Blau Family I.I.C. At the time of
purchase, the property was in extreme disrepair suffering from years of deferred
maintenance. Balconies and stair wells were in a state of collapse, roofs leaking, termites
and dry rot damage was extensive, plumbing lines were corroded, electrical panels were
shorting out, non - functional and paint /plaster was peeling.
The property embodies distinguishing architectural characteristics representing Streamline
Moderne style in Santa Monica. Character defining features of the property include a
central landscape courtyard flanked on either side by two buildings defined by rectangular,
flat roof, 2 story stepped facades with characteristic rounded corners and horizontal
window groupings. The roofs have low parapets with a flat, slim profile metal cap
flashing /coping as recently renovated. The exterior finishes include smooth cement plaster
with horizontal wood band siding and flat bar metal railings. Access to the second story is
by exterior stairs, decks and balconies both off the courtyard and on the exterior secondary
elevations by attached wooden stairs. The windows are wood sash casement style with
glazing divisions that further enhance the nature of the horizontal groupings.
Exterior Finishes
The buildings on the property have been in extremely poor condition due to decades of
deferred maintenance by previous owners and coastal weather conditions. Balconies and
stairwells have recently been reconstructed and refinished; some had already collapsed and
others were leaking with collapse imminent. Decks will require re- surfacing at 3 -5 years
intervals based on use and solar /weather conditions. All roofs on the property required
tear -off, dry rot repair and new roofing.
The building on the northern side of the courtyard was re- roofed in December, 2013 with
the remaining roofs scheduled for re- roofing in August, 2014. Two characteristic overhangs
have partially collapsed due to dry rot, termites and moisture penetration and will require
re- structuring, new decking, guard rails and new plaster along with necessary asbestos
abatement. The current exterior cement plaster has cracks that allow termite and moisture
penetration requiring sealant, possible lead paint containment/ removal and paint. The
property generally has wood casement windows that show serious deterioration due to
termites and deferred maintenance. A significant number of windows have recently had
broken glass panels replaced. All windows will eventually need to be rebuilt or replaced due
to this deterioration. window mastic at glazing are dry and missing and will need
restoration. Window screens have been replaced or rebuilt at many operable window
locations.
The property has not experienced foundation repair or earthquake retrofit. All exterior
free - standing wood stairs need to be removed and re- structured. Currently stairs suffer
from instability due to dry rot, termites and deferred maintenance.
�# 4 r. �.
® Exterior apartment unit doors in general have been maintained but will require
continuous upkeep. All ten garage doors require replacement due to water and
termite damage.
® Continue maintenance on deck surfacing.. Re -seal in 3- 5 to year increments due to
solar and weather conditions.
® Re -roof remaining areas of property and maintain roof with proper penetration
sealants. Remove dry rot, termite damage and treat asbestos conditions.
® Re- structure, remove dry and termite damage, re- surface and finish balcony/
roof overhangs off of courtyard. Test and treat- asbestos conditions.
® Test and treat lead based paint conditions. Seal, patch and paint all exterior cement
plaster, wood windows and sills, horizontal wood trim doors and metal guard rails.
® Re- structure, seal and paint deteriorated window and door frames. Replace glazing
where broken. Remove old glass stops with pliable mastic /sealant. Routinely
maintain window frames seals and window screens.
® Engage a structural engineer with historic preservation experience to evaluate
foundation structure and retrofit as required for seismic stability.
® Replace all garage doors, frames and operating mechanisms.
• r �
The existing electrical service to the property has been undersized and serious panel
outages have been reported. Currently the property is undergoing a comprehensive
electrical system upgrade to include new main power lines, panels and sub panels and a
new electrical vault. This work is being coordinated with Southern California Edison. There
is currently no exterior lighting on the property due to lack of electrical access. Plumbing
lines both to and within the property are primarily galvanized, requiring copper retrofit.
Water pressure is inconsistent. Hot water heaters in some units have been replaced with
tankless systems although the majority of units have aging water tanks. The existing
mechanical HVAC systems are old and require systematic replacement and maintenance.
Numerous units have already been replaced in 2013 -2014.
• Complete new electrical conduit, sub panels, panels and electrical installation.
Remove abandoned sub - panels, electrical boxes and conduit. Re -wire all unit
interiors.
• Replace leaking water heaters and confirm proper venting and earthquake
strapping.
• Replace corroded galvanized piping with new copper lines.
® Replace faucet fixtures that are leaking or non - functioning.
• Replace non - functioning HVAC heaters, blowers and continue HVAC
maintenance.
• Install automatic irrigation system in courtyard.
® Install low voltage exterior security lighting.
Landscape
Landscape irrigation is not functioning and requires watering by hand. Landscape features
include a central raised planter that requires restoration. Over the years, plant materials
have been added without plan. Plant materials need to be itemized and evaluated for
health and conformance to an overall plan. There are a number of mature trees on the
property that are currently encroaching on the foundations that need to be evaluated for
possible removal.
• Install an automated irrigation system.
• Install low voltage security lighting.
• Evaluate plant materials for health and design. Replant as needed.
• Remove trees that encroach on foundation.
• Evaluate central planter for design conformity and re- structure and seal
cracked walls.
• Maintain landscape.
• Evaluate concrete walks and replace where cracked or where surfaces are
uneven.
• Evaluate existing fencing and perimeter walls. Correct instability or replace
where dry rot occurs.
t^
Units typically have painted plaster or drywall interior finishes. Floors throughout are
exposed hand wood. Four units have recently had the hardwood floors refinished due
required to repair of subfloor collapse due to termite damage. Kitchens in general are in
decent condition. Appliances are in fair condition with some having recently been
replaced. Countertops and plumbing fixtures are in fair /good condition with several
showing signs of recent replacement. Bathrooms are in fair condition. Showers need to be
evaluated for cracked tiles and shower pan leaks. One shower is currently being rebuilt
due to water damage.
..
® Evaluate appliances and replace or repair as needed.
® Maintain finishes as needed with painting walls, refinishing /sealing
hardwood floors and repairing tile.
