Deficit Findings:

Table 2:

Table 2 above lists the most frequently collected negative conditions (deficits) organized by feature.  23 conditions were found in the sidewalk category.  A majority of the sidewalk conditions indicated uneven pavement and litter on the sidewalk.  Tree pits and buildings were both collected an equal number of times. The conditions of the tree pits were of concern due to the presence of weeds and invasive plants.  Blank walls, graffiti and abandoned commercial spaces were the building conditions collected. In total, there were 81 deficits or concerns collected by community members in the Admiral neighborhood on April 9th, 2006.  For a complete list of all the deficits collected during this survey, click here.
