Housing rehabilitation block by block
Public and affordable housing across Brownsville cycles through rehabilitation in phases, with roofs, windows and plumbing done building by building. A Brownsville phase keeps one standard unit at the end of the parking bay serving the building under work, and we relocate it when the crew moves next door.
Residents stay in place through most Brownsville rehab work, so a unit has to be somewhere it does not block a walkway or a parking space anyone depends on. We walk the Brownsville placement with the site super before the first delivery rather than dropping it on arrival.
The NW 27th Avenue corridor
Commercial buildings along the Brownsville stretch of NW 27th Avenue turn over regularly, and each one brings demolition and a build-out with no working restroom. A Brownsville storefront job takes a single unit at the rear of the lot, away from the avenue and out of the customer approach.
Signal, pavement and drainage work runs the corridor through Brownsville on a rolling basis. Those Brownsville crews keep a unit behind the closure taper, and our driver moves it along the corridor on the regular service day.
Transit corridor and elevated guideway work
The Metrorail guideway runs the length of Brownsville on concrete columns with a maintenance strip underneath. Work crews in Brownsville set up in that strip, and we place units on the paved edge clear of the column bases and the access gates.
Track and station projects in Brownsville often happen overnight, which changes our timing rather than our setup. We service those Brownsville units mid-morning so they are clean and stocked before the next night shift takes over.
