Clean the facade of a historic Jamestown storefront

The old colonial-era storefronts and market stalls near Jamestown Lighthouse carry years of grime and stains that make the neighborhood look neglected even where the community keeps it running. A host-invited facade cleaning restores a storefront's dignity in an afternoon. Standard: UN-Habitat safer cities programme; SDG 11.7 Proof: before/after photo of the facade Method (UN-Habitat safer cities programme; SDG 11.7): 1. Confirm the host-invited storefront and agree the cleaning scope. 2. Sweep loose debris from the base of the facade. 3. Scrub the facade with water and a mild, chemical-free cleaner. 4. Rinse the facade and clear any runoff from the walkway. 5. Photograph the finished facade and log the date. Done when: before/after photo of the facade

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.
