Sunrise Apartments was identified as a high‑priority exterior rehabilitation project due to significant deterioration across multiple staircases and concrete porch structures. Angstrom was contracted by the Housing Authority of Cook County to fully address the structural and safety concerns across the complex. Upon assessment, several stair treads were severely rusted, handrails were unstable, and concrete pads were cracked, uneven, and hazardous for residents.
