It's also informative to look at the compatibility and impacts of by the type of structure. We analyzed the 20 duplexes that are the only structure on the lot. These stand. alone duplexes have the following characteristics: · All but possibly three of the duplexes appear to be infill added after the neighborhood was originally developed. · 12 are highly incompatible, and 4 are somewhat incompatible, with the neighborhood character. · 4 have severe negative impacts, and 12 have substantial negative impacts. · 10 are in poorly maintained condition. There are ten duplexes on lots with three or more units total. Four ofthese are original structures, and the rest are infiH. Of these six, none are compatible and five have severe negative impacts. Another way to analyze infill is to look at two. story structures (not including house conversions) with two or more units. There are 17 such structures: eight duplexes, seven triplexes, and two fourplexes. All these structures are highly incompatible with the neighborhood character and have severe negative impacts. Jf one were to point to the single category of infill that's had the most destabilizing effect on the neighborhood, it would be two-story, multi-unit developments.
