Houses are generally older with some newer homes scattered throughout the area. The quality of the homes range from dilapidated to immaculate. Many of the older homes in Old Yuma did not appear to have air conditioning as doors and windows were left open to circulate air, versus the new homes, which contained AC units either on top of the roof or on the ground. All homes appeared to have plumbing and electricity. Homes were generally in close proximity to one another and appeared to have seemingly small lots.

The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is the “largest public housing authority in the nation” (Developments, 2015). In existence since 1934 (About NYCHA: NYCHA at 70, 2015), NYCHA is a low to moderate income public housing initiative consisting of 328 developments throughout all five boroughs of New York City. More than 400,000 residents benefit from these developments through the receipt of not only apartments but additional services provided by each development and New York City overall. Over recent years the NYCHA developments have been experiencing a reduction in government funding, forcing the organization to re-evaluate strategies addressing maintenance of old buildings (About NYCHA, 2015).

Our first step is to identify the issue and the multiple causes that contribute to the problem.

Broken windshields can be a noteworthy torment. From chips and splits to finish spiderwebs, harmed car glass is a difficult issue regardless of the degree of the issue. That is on the grounds that even little dings and parts in your windshield can develop into vision-clouding messes. Be that as it may, windshield substitution isn't the main arrangement when you have harmed auto glass. Littler blemishes can really be repaired imperceptibly to restore both quality and an unhampered perspective to your windshield. Here's the way it works.
In Nightingale Square, it was a very clean and upkept area of the city with only a few disparities. These areas include a couple of buildings had trash thrown outside the building, and some graffiti on outside ‘garage type’ door. Outside Jo’s Grocery there was trash piled up outside of the building next door and possibly inventory boxes stacked up outside of the grocery store. I also noticed a loose dog walking around, not sure if got out or just a stray. This part of the city also had Jersey Walls to keep their residents safe from unbuilt roads, they had beautiful green and growing trees. Also around the Gas Station were a few areas of lush, green growing grass.

The Southeast neighborhood of Allen County has many homes built before 1970 which would have a potential for lead paint as well as asbestos. This would pose a health hazard for families but especially infants and young children. Many homes are in need of general maintenance and repairs.

Very few in ground swimming pools are seen but those in the area are fenced in, while some of the smaller above ground pools are not fenced in. Stray animals were seen
