Job Sites and Home Projects

Building in Existing Neighborhoods

About 7.6% of Hayward's housing units were built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024), below the U.S. share of 11.4%, though above the median U.S. place in our data, so most homes predate 2010 and many projects are renovations or additions to existing buildings.

Homes From the 1970s and 1980s

The median year built for Hayward's housing is 1972 (ACS 2020–2024), older than most U.S. places in our data. Housing from that era is now 35 to 55 years old; crews replacing roofs, windows or mechanical systems on it need a toilet on site like any other crew.

Older Paint on Renovation Jobs

A large share of Hayward's housing, about 62% of units, was built before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule covers paid work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes built before 1978, and OSHA’s lead standard for construction (29 CFR 1926.62) requires adequate hand-washing facilities for workers exposed to lead. If the crew will sand, scrape or demolish old paint, put one of the hand-wash stations next to the toilet.

Apartments, Townhouses and Rentals

The most common housing type is detached houses, about 51% of units (lower than three in four U.S. places in our data), followed by buildings with five or more units at about 27% (ACS 2020–2024). Detached houses usually have a driveway or yard where a crew's unit can stand within reach of the service truck. Apartment and condo projects bring larger crews, and a property manager decides where units go. About 42% of occupied homes are rented (owner share lower than most U.S. places in our data), so check who controls the property before a unit goes on it.

OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 scales with headcount: 45 workers on an apartment or condo site need 2 toilet seats and 2 urinals, 210 need 5 of each. More on sizing: job-site porta potties in Hayward.
