Many of these buildings need their first major exterior work in years, from roof painting and gutter replacement to waterproofing old flat-roofed blocks. Linden and Northcliff have a mix of older family homes on hilly stands. Highveld hail and summer storms are hard on old roofs, and strong sun fades paint on exposed walls.
