In Upper Avenues
Brick became the preferred building material in the Avenues after the late 1860s, when Salt Lake City had several brickyards, including one in the Upper Avenues area, though small adobe houses were built until the 1880s. (Avenues Historic District (amended), National Register of Historic Places Registration Form (NPGallery)) Salt Lake City's Plat D was extended to include the upper bench lands in the late 1890s, and in 1907 the city council designated the east-west streets as avenues, giving the neighborhood its name. (Avenues Historic District (amended), National Register of Historic Places Registration Form (NPGallery)) On the upper slopes of the Avenues, the below-grade garage was a common adaptation to the steep topography. (Avenues Historic District (amended), National Register of Historic Places Registration Form (NPGallery)) Salt Lake City's Wildland Urban Interface Fire Code adds extra fire safety rules for properties near undeveloped natural areas, covering building and roofing materials, how buildings are built, allowed landscaping, and the space required between buildings and wildland. (SLC Wildland Urban Interface Fire Code | Salt Lake City Council Office) A 2004 proposal to extend the Avenues Historic District north to Eleventh Avenue was made, but the boundary increase has not been pursued.

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Rekeys or replaces entry locksets and deadbolts so old keys no longer work on the first night.
- Mounts TVs, anchors dressers and bookcases to the wall, and assembles beds, cribs and flat-pack furniture.
- Hangs curtain rods, blinds, mirrors and art, installs battery or plug-in smoke and CO alarms, and adds childproofing hardware.
How it works
- Share the move-in date, the list, and photos of the walls where things will hang.
- The list is scoped and confirmed in writing, with locks, beds and anchoring done first.
- Mounting, assembly and hanging follow room by room, and every lock and alarm is tested before leaving.
- Referred out: new outlets, hardwired fixtures, plumbing and gas appliance hookups, and paint touch-ups in pre-1978 homes larger than 6 square feet per room inside or 20 square feet outside.
What happens next
- The written scope comes first, confirmed against the move-in date; locks and safety items go first so the home is secure the first night.
- Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.
Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
