Series Description
Detailed building surveys conducted by BURHA to determine the feasibility of renovating slum dwellings in selected urban renewal areas. For each structure within the blocks covered, there is information relating to type of construction, building use, occupancy, defects, exterior and interior conditions, and a general condition rating. Forms used and information gathered does vary from block to block. Maps displaying present find future building use are occasionally available. See also series 25 and 27 for additional surveys.
Some of the blocks surveyed were for the following projects: Community Mental Health Center, Gay Street I, Historic Park, and Washington Hill.
A complete list of block numbers surveyed is available at the Baltimore City Archives.
