What is typically identified as Side A of a single-family house?

1. Side facing the backyard

2. Side with the garage

3. Street side

4. Side with the porch

The correct answer is: Street side

The side of a single-family house that is typically identified as Side A refers to the street side. This designation is commonly used in inspections and assessments because it is the most visible side of the house from the public right-of-way. It is also the side where access points such as the main entrance are usually located, making it significant for both aesthetic and functional reasons. Identifying Side A as the street side creates a standard reference point for inspectors and assessors. This is important for consistency in documentation, communication, and location identification when evaluating properties for lead inspection or other assessments. Each side of the house may have different risks or features that need evaluation, and having a clear and standardized method of referring to these sides aids in the assessment process.
