Maybe a demo because it was under recertification. Read what expert engineer said per my previous post.
No.
According to the engineering report done almost 3 years ago, there were major structural issues in the underground parking garage that needed to be addressed. Spalling, cracking, splits in the building envelope are tell-tale signs of trouble. They were all present in this complex. When the foundation gives out, the rest easily comes down.
Unlike an apartment complex, where the building is owned by a company that can raise rents to cover the repairs, this was a condominium. Each unit is individually owned. The individual owners must vote on a special assessment and pay to fund the work. The condominium only has the funds that the owners give it.
If the Board brought the issue to the community for a vote, and the community turned it down, then the OWNERS are to blame. Not the Board. Not the manager. The owners.
I know. I manage a high rise. I look for these issues constantly and, if found, address immediately. Structural engineers are my best friends.
It is the same as a homeowner ignoring a roofers recommendations to fix the hole in the roof because it only leaks every once in a while, but then being surprised when the roof caves in.
Don’t get sucked into the nonsense.
