Dear Anne,
I am writing to provide the necessary background information on the repair and
maintenance construction that is taking place at 1015 Rock Street in the city of Little
Rock. This work started over three years ago because the home had several code
violations, that had to be corrected even with the property being vacant. I had to address
several important issues. Please see enclosed list provided by code enforcement.
My goal is to repair the property and bring it back into compliance with city code. Every
effort is being made to preserve the historic character of the house. Some of the
architectural details have been destroyed by previous owners and therefore could not be
reasonably replace.
The repair cost will be approximately $15,000 of which about $10,000 were exterior
repairs and about $5,000 used for interior repairs. This pricing would not have been
possible if my father, my uncle and the other members of my family donated over 85% of
the labor.
Anne, thank you for your assistance with the project, if you have any additional questions
please contact me at (501-265-1925 pager). I look forward to completing this home and
seeing our downtown neighborhood become an even more enjoyable place to live.
Sincerely,
Felton L. Lamb, Jr.
