I consider no housing rehabilitated
without bringing insulation, and other
energy related components within code
standards for new structures. All 3
candidate materials in your questions
are questionable. 1. Can a metal roof
be fastened well to rotten sub roofing?
2. Cement/fiber siding is good if the
fiber in it is not asbestos like in the
50 years ago cement/fiber siding. 3.
Interior and exterior doors should
follow the fire resistance and exterior
door insulation codes for Condos or
whatever they are. Your questions are
better answered by HUD than by PATH.
They set the minimum codes for rehab
rental housing
