Bathrooms have a new terrazzo shower base with glass shower doors and new frosted glass block windows.

Mechanical upgrades include: refinished radiators; new bathroom exhaust fans to meet energy codes and ventilation requirements; and new gas lines for upgraded appliances.

Plumbing upgrades include: drain, waste, and vent lines replacement to PVC from cast iron with a waiver from the City of Chicago; and replacement of incoming water lines; new fixtures.

Electrical upgrades include: upgrades for code compliance and safety; kitchen appliances to a dedicated circuit with two dedicated breakers to the overall kitchen; upgraded lighting.

CCC also coordinated masonry restoration work (hired under a different contractor) to perform work on the facade and at the parapet of the buildings.
