Here is the information about the 50 E Elm St rehabilitation project needed to apply for any
potential reimbursement funds. The building is in need for a new roof and tuck pointing.
Roof Project:
Contractor Hoithaus Companies Inc. Roofing contractors
Contact Nick Orwig
Start date 10/28/2024-tentative to existing projects
Cost $41,265.00
Description The roof has a number of small leaks that have increased in size over the past
couple of years. Due to the age of the roof, insurance would not pay any amount
to repair/replace. The condition of the roof has deteriorated since the gas
explosion in 2016 which caused ripples across the surface. The insurance
company at the time paid for window and door damage but would not pay for
any roof damage and dropped the client before a dispute could be filed. Nick Orwig evaluated
the condition of the roof and deemed a new roof is needed to keep the building in
excellent condition.
Tuck Pointing Project:
Contractor josh Rediiger
Start date 8/5/2024
Cost $6500.00
Description Tuck pointing and brick replacement/repair was needed on the west and
south side of the property. Both sides have deteriorated to a point that bricks
were disintegrating and pieces were falling off. This was visually and
structurally significant to the future of the building.
Both of these projects are needed for the future use of this building. If any additional
information is needed,please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you for taking the time to potentially helping rehabilitate this property.
