How does a manager look after an older house in Hyde Park?
An older house asks more of its manager on repairs, so the crew matters most.
Tracy Powell, our construction manager and a licensed building contractor, oversees most repairs by our own skilled staff, including electrical, HVAC and plumbing. Our construction staff and architect can advise on a property before it goes on the market. We market homes on the Versaggi Properties website, the MLS and the major rental portals, and each owner receives a monthly report of income and expenses.
Do Hyde Park's historic district rules affect a rental house?
They can, because the city requires a Certificate of Appropriateness before a building permit for work the guidelines cover.
The City of Tampa's Hyde Park Design Guidelines, adopted by Ordinance 2002-230, apply to residential structures in the Hyde Park Historic District. They say an owner must obtain the certificate from the Architectural Review Commission before a building permit is issued. City staff issue many certificates, and others are decided at a public hearing. Ask the city whether your address is inside the district, and talk to a Florida attorney about your own case.
How old are the homes in Hyde Park?
The area was named in 1886, and the city describes a mixture of styles, sizes and ages.
The city's guidelines say building between 1879 and 1899 ran through the southeast part of the district, that the area flourished between 1913 and 1928, and that building after the Depression followed the national trend toward smaller homes. Older houses ask more of an owner on repairs, so the crew you choose matters. Ours is Versaggi's own skilled staff.
