This historic publication is part of a series of housing rehabilitation guidelines, to be adopted by states and localities on a voluntary basis and used in conjunction with existing building codes. Prepared by the National Institute of Building Sciences for HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research, the series was written to fulfill the requirements of the Housing and Community Development Amendments adopted by Congress in 1978. This volume, the nineth of ten and the first of the volumes published after the initial 1980 series, is a technical manual describing the process of evaluating the rehabilitation potential of an existing one- to four-family residential building.
