Stairway to Heaven

This morning I had to walk over and admire the new staircase in front of tenement 628. The stairs have been rebuilt and painted and a pressure treated railing installed with an inside handrail. Over the past few weeks I watched the workers working with a wheelbarrow mixing cement and carefully rebuilding the stairs. For nearly a decade the front stairs had been blocked off by two by fours. The cement had crumbled and the landlord didn't want to fix it so he blocked it off closing the front porch. The tenants no longer had proper access to their building. They had to go in on the side. It was not just an eye sore it was a story about the slum landlords ruining our neighborhood. Well now there's a new landlord and he knows what he's doing. Amen. Thank you, Anthony. And thanks to the City for finding him.
