yet another reminder that Hartford used to be very wealthy and the architecture was fantastic. Theyve pissed it away with lenient building codes for renovations, tearing down historic buildings ****-poor trash pick up (lived there 4 years and never noticed a trash truck, never saw trash being collected) and general neglect of cities in general. Those triple deckers look fantastic if you squint your eyes. In Boston those are worth 900k+ easily
Poor building codes pre-2001: WHY was this ever allowed? Then Mayor Eddie Perez revamped city code in 2001- thank god
I kind of like the colors and columns on those. They look pretty new too? They’re at least nicer than the ones directly across the street.
i remember when they were built-sometime around 2005, 2006. They had renovated the housing projects up by the rite-aid at the same time. Might've been some city money floating around to redevelop pockets of Roslindale at that time

Those look so much better. I honestly don't like the look of the "traditional" triple decker. The asymmetry bothers me.
Really? I thought the St Johnsbury example was pretty solid. No balconies, but it checks the other stylistic boxes. Reminds me of these ones on Mission Hill in Boston:
None of the triple deckers I lived in in Somerville had decks either, except perhaps the first floor/stairs landing, if that counts.
Both of mine have had decks, but I've seen plenty that don't. I've also seen a number of triple deckers where the deck has been converted into a room - lots of landlords do this so they can advertise a 4 bedroom unit instead of 3. Pretty shifty practice. Here's a shot with two of them that have converted decks: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.4081...7i16384!8i8192

jesus. I kind of like how in Northern NJ they have smaller wooden houses/duplexes and triple deckerish homes but anything more than 3 units is typically brick or even a stucco type material.... more than 3-4 wooden units rarely if ever looks good. Some places in New England try to hold on too the wood aesthetic too much,
