Renovation in Lev Ha’ir and Kerem HaTeimanim
The centre of Tel Aviv is the White City’s International Style buildings around Rothschild, Allenby and Sheinkin, and next to the Carmel Market the low houses and alleys of Kerem HaTeimanim. Both need careful work, good planning for access and an eye on conservation rules.

What the buildings are like
Lev Ha’ir is the heart of the White City, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2003: three- and four-storey International Style (“Bauhaus”) buildings from the 1930s, with rounded balconies and stairwell windows, many listed for conservation. Kerem HaTeimanim, founded in the early 1900s beside what became the Carmel Market, is one- to three-storey houses on narrow alleys, some old, some rebuilt.
- White City walk-ups: plaster walls with decades of patches, original tile, small bathrooms.
- Listed buildings: exterior, windows and balconies are protected.
- Kerem HaTeimanim houses: small rooms, thick walls, very tight access.
Typical jobs in Lev Ha’ir & Kerem HaTeimanim
- Wall prep and repaints that look even on old plaster.
- Crack and ceiling repairs.
- New floors over old tile, when it is sound and level enough.
- Short-term rental prep and turnover repairs, common in the centre. See Airbnb turnover repairs.
- Bathroom regrouting and faucet swaps.
Access, parking and noise
- Around the Carmel Market streets are crowded, especially on Fridays, and some alleys in Kerem HaTeimanim have no vehicle access at all. We plan deliveries early and carry the last stretch.
- Parking in the centre is scarce and mostly residents-only. A nearby paid car park or loading spot helps.
- Conservation rules cover façades, windows and balconies. Cosmetic work inside is usually straightforward.
- Noise: noisy work in residential buildings is allowed 07:00–20:00 on weekdays and until 17:00 on the eve of Shabbat and holidays, never on Shabbat or holidays. We work Sunday–Thursday 8:00–19:00 and Friday 8:00–14:00.
