Project – Nemasket Apartment Roofs – 11, 15 Park St

1958 MHA constructed the first elderly housing development in Middleborough. This development is known as Nemasket Apartments. Nemasket -1 Apartments is located between Frank, Park and Sproat Streets and Nemasket -2 is located on Maddigan Way. Nemasket -1 Apartments, the location of the CPA project, consists of forty (40) one-bedroom units in a campus style setting with the apartments surrounding a grass park and a community building. The portion of our Nemasket Apartments Roof Project to be funded with this Community Preservation grant will entail removing the existing roof shingles on the two building located at 11 and 15 Park Street replacing them with 30 year architectural roof shingles. These buildings were chosen because in May 2017 after several days of rain, a resident notified us of a leak in his apartment. We located the source of the leak and applied a temporary fix of a rubber membrane in the area and re-shingled. As the roof shingles on these two buildings are at the end of their useful lifespan, it was determined that the roof shingles on both buildings should be replaced. In conjunction with the CPA component of the Nemasket Roof Project, Middleborough Housing Authority (MHA) will fund the cost of replacing the rake boards, facia and soffit with maintenance free products. MHA will also fund the cost of the MHA employees to install the materials. Additionally, since the buildings were built 1958, when the roof shingles are removed, MHA will assess the condition of the roof structure and underlayment and replaced any components as needed.
