Summary

City of Altoona staff describe the interior features of the long-vacant house at 516 East Atlantic Avenue, noting hardwood floors beneath carpets, four bedrooms, one full upstairs bathroom, attic access, and a one-car garage — details the city will include in solicitation specifications.

Eric Lachanski led a walkthrough of the interior and pointed out features the city views as valuable for rehabilitation, saying, "Under these carpets, there's hardwood floors." He listed four moderately sized bedrooms, "1, 2, 3, 4 bedrooms," and a full bathroom upstairs.

Lachanski also noted attic access that could serve as storage but not full living space, and he described a cleaned one-car garage attached to a back deck. He said those features and the discovered details would be included in the city's specifications when it issues the request for proposals.
