  • Residents Fear Being Uprooted by Gentrification in Southeast Raleigh
    Residents fear being uprooted by gentrification in Southeast Raleigh BY JOSH SHAFFER [email protected] 22, 2013 FacebookTwitterGoogle PlusRedditE-mailPrint Ace West, left, and Dre Will foreground play chess Thursday, September 19, 2013 at Washington Terrace apartments in Raleigh. The apartment complex property is currently in foreclosure and for sale. TRAVIS LONG — [email protected] RALEIGH — For $459 a month, Polly Johnson rents a two-bedroom apartment at Washington Terrace – home since a tornado wrecked her house in 2011. She shares the apartment with her 77-year-old husband, Robert, a retired New York policeman who uses a wheelchair. The place isn’t perfect, but it’s an affordable set of roof and walls. On Thursday, Johnson learned that her modest development in Southeast Raleigh – small multi-family homes spread over several blocks – is for sale. It’s described as an ―exclusive listing‖ in a 57-page sales prospectus. So it’s clear to Johnson and her neighbors that someone wants them out, their apartments knocked down and replaced by something more profitable. The potential sale of 245 apartments for lower-income people has reignited long-simmering fears that downtown Raleigh’s rebirth will crowd out poorer neighbors to the south and east, swallowing up blocks suddenly turned valuable. In the prospectus, a real estate firm in Atlanta described Washington Terrace as ―classic redevelopment potential‖ in an area ripe for gentrification. With color photographs and pie charts, the brochure touted Washington Terrace’s proximity to The Hue on the western edge of downtown, where rents run three times higher. It showed pictures of distant Duke University, GlaxoSmithKline and Carter-Finley Stadium filled to capacity – all as amenities new tenants could enjoy.

  • Air Change in Low and High-Rise Apartments
    Article Air Change in Low and High-Rise Apartments Yonghang Lai 1, Ian A. Ridley 1 and Peter Brimblecombe 1,2,3,4,* 1 School of Energy and Environment, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong; [email protected] (Y.L.); [email protected] (I.A.R.) 2 Department of Marine Environment and Engineering, National Sun Yat-Sen University, Kaohsiung 80424, Taiwan 3 Aerosol Science Research Center, National Sun Yat-Sen University, Kaohsiung 80424, Taiwan 4 School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 8 April 2020; Accepted: 8 May 2020; Published: 13 May 2020 Abstract: Air exchange in tall apartment buildings is critical in controlling indoor environments in urban settings. Airtightness is relevant to energy efficiency, thermal comfort and air quality experienced by urban dwellers who spend much of their time indoors. While many air change measurements have been made in residential homes, fewer are available for high-rise apartments. The blower-door and CO2 exchange methods were used to measure air change in some Hong Kong apartment buildings, for comparison with those from other parts of the world. Hong Kong apartments are often small and typical rented apartments show a median of seven air changes per hour under a 50 Pa pressure difference, similar to Mediterranean houses, though much greater than the airtight buildings of Northern Europe. Extrapolation of blower-door measurements made at 50 Pa to the natural pressure difference measured for individual Hong Kong apartments provides an approximation (within 8%) of the natural air change rate measured with a tracer.

  • A Zoning Permit Is Required Any Time a Single-Family Resident
    Zoning Permit FAQs What types of projects require a Zoning Permit? A zoning permit is required any time a single‐family residential building or associated structure is erected, constructed, altered, repaired, or moved and are also required for temporary uses and parking lots. Basically, a zoning permit is required for projects as large as the construction of a new house to projects as small as putting up a fence. In the case of a temporary use, a zoning permit can cover a broad range of applications and is necessary whenever a short‐term, seasonal or intermittent use is proposed. Common temporary uses include Christmas tree lots and other seasonal merchandise sales. How do I apply for a Zoning Permit? Zoning permit applications are available online and in our office a 120 W. Dougherty. Fill out as much of the application as you can and bring the form, along with all other necessary information, to our office and a member of our staff will initiate the review. What kinds of information do I need to provide along with my application? The required information varies depending on the scope of your proposed project, but you can always count on needing to provide a site plan drawn to scale. The site plan should show anything that exists on the property, from structures and driveways to streams and ponds, and what is proposed to be constructed, altered, repaired etc. on the site. A staff member can assist you in the creation of your site plan, though it may require additional time and can incur additional cost for copies.

  • Booklet 2 Housing Code Checklist (March 2021)
    Representing Yourself in an Eviction Case Housing Code Checklist with Key Provisions of the State Sanitary Code In Massachusetts, the state Sanitary Code is the main law that gives tenants a right to decent housing. All rental housing must at least meet the state Sanitary Code. The Housing Code Checklist will help you protect your right to safe and decent housing. You can also use the state Sanitary Code to defend against an eviction because a tenant’s duty to pay rent is based on the landlord’s duty to keep the apartment in good condition. The Sanitary Code defines what is good condition. If you are facing an eviction for nonpayment of rent or a no-fault eviction, the checklist can help you prepare your case. A no-fault eviction is where a landlord is evicting a tenant who has done nothing wrong. If you can prove to a judge the landlord knew about the bad conditions before you stopped paying rent, the judge may not order you to move. A judge might order you to pay only some of the rent the landlord claims you owe. Or, the judge may order the landlord to pay you money because you lived with such bad conditions. The landlord may have to pay you even if the problems were fixed. The judge may also order the landlord to make repairs. The right column of the Housing Code Checklist refers to the law. In most cases, it is the Sanitary Code in the Code of Massachusetts Regulations (C.M.R.). See the Sanitary Code online: www.mass.gov/eohhs/docs/dph/regs/105cmr410.pdf.
