what does "steel and block"mean?
“Very.” She considered. “He probably never came here, did he, to the office?”
“Probably not. He’d want to meet somewhere like a coffee shop or bar. Not in his area or Duncan’s.” Eli pulled up at another building— steel and block.
“This is where he lived?”
“Second floor. Dicey area.”
“What does that tell you?”
“That Duncan felt he could handle himself, wasn’t worried about his car getting stripped, his neighbors screwing with him. Tough guy maybe, or just one who figured he knew the score and how to play the game. Someone like that wouldn’t think twice about meeting a client alone.”
“Do you want to go in, talk to some of the neighbors?”
“No point. The cops would have already. Suskind wouldn’t have come here other than to go through the apartment. Not only because he wouldn’t have a reason to meet Duncan here, but because this area would scare him. South Boston’s not his turf.”Q2: what does " car getting stripped"mean?

I am guessing the writer refers to the materials of the building: steel and (granite) block.
