Yep sounds like some crappy houses.  Built up fast after WW II, and they fall 
apart kind of fast too.  Built to sell fast, be passed on fast and downgrade 
fast.  The concrete slab under the deck, no surprise there either.  My guess is 
they originally built that one with a patio in mind, then later owners decided 
to build a deck over it, well apparently they didn’t maintain it very well.  I 
think you probably have room to do better than that.
