Since taking on the role of in-house accessibility assessors and program managers for the CHA in 2023, the HUSARCH team built a comprehensive foundation for managing the CHA’s accessibility portfolio. We developed a system to track and monitor open unit issues across the portfolio. We brought clarity, consistency, and usability to a complex system, so that the CHA could better serve its residents.

HUSARCH serves as the lead facility assessors for the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) conducting 450 Property Needs Assessments (PNA) across CHA’s residential portfolio.

As critical facade examiners at the Armour Square Apartments - two buildings with eight stories - HUSARCH visually inspected and sound tested both buildings through 18 swing stage drops, creating two openings per drop.

HUS performed facade assessments and served as consulting architect for two residential buildings that are part of the Chicago Housing Authority portfolio.

HUSARCH was contracted by HED to conduct a material analysis of products for a project for the Housing Authority of Cook County. We researched the Enterprise Green Community standards and applied that knowledge to a review of proposed products.

HUSARCH served as prime architect for general building renovation work and, in partnership with Altusworks, conducted facade inspections of the building exterior and roof using swingstages.

HUSARCH served as project management support on facade restoration of a three story, fifteen unit residence within the Chicago Housing Authority portfolio. 

The project included full tuck-pointing, limestone restoration, and frieze redesign. HUSARCH coordinated with the project architect, consultants, and construction team to help maintain the project schedule.

HUSARCH ensured the quality and accuracy of the facade replacement at Fannie Emanuel Apartments in Chicago by conducting bi-weekly field inspections. The original brick facade of Fannie Emanuel was completely demolished and reconstructed with engineered metal studs to meet dimensions of fabricated metal panels.

Perimeter Architects contracted HUSARCH to perform cost estimating and facade assessment coordination for a project scope that entailed 14 scattered high rise buildings.
