Patch a cracked stoop tread and tighten a loose handrail, Willis Avenue block

The hazard walk above already flagged the tripping cracks. A hand-mixed concrete patch and a tightened handrail bolt fix the ones that don't need a full rebuild. Standard: Municipal public-right-of-way maintenance practice; ADA/PROWAG 36 CFR 1190 access-route intent; SDG 11.7. Proof: before/after photos of the patch + handrail hand-test video + GPS Method (Municipal public-right-of-way maintenance practice; ADA/PROWAG 36 CFR 1190 access-route intent; SDG 11.7.): 1. Photograph the cracked tread and loose handrail as found; brush out loose debris from the crack. 2. Dampen the crack and hand-trowel a bonding concrete patch flush with the surrounding tread. 3. Cure-protect the patch and, once set, re-torque the handrail's anchor bolts to spec. 4. Photograph the finished tread and a hand-test of the now-secure handrail. Done when: before/after photos of the patch + handrail hand-test video + GPS

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
