What do buildings near Lake Merritt need?

The neighborhoods around the lake, including Adams Point and Grand Lake, have many apartment buildings, duplexes and older homes. Much of the work is entry and courtyard gates, low front fences, and repairs to fences that have been patched for years.

Can a building's entry gate lock and still be safe?

Gates on exit paths have to work for the people inside, and fences cannot block required stair, ramp or door landings, as the city's fence page notes. For multi-unit buildings, we check exit and access needs before choosing hardware.
