Replacing steps in New Britain
With 30% of homes built before 1940, New Britain has plenty of houses with tall porches and long front stair runs, where rebuilding the steps means handling a big rise safely and to code. With only 31% single-family detached homes, New Britain has a lot of two- and three-family houses with front stoops, rear stairs and several entries, and landlords who need them safe and up to code.
On New Britain's tighter lots, front steps often land right at the public sidewalk, so the bottom step and the walk have to meet cleanly and stay inside the property line.
The median home in New Britain was built in 1956, older than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's older than nearby Newington, where the median is 1967.
