Note:First floor units,exterior work and exterior stairs are done by others and are not part of our scope
of design work or construction observations/control. We take no responsibility,and are not associated
with this work.These are repairs done directly by the building Ownership.
Recommendations or Actions:
1-A Structural Engineer should inspect the exterior decks,including the roof supporting the new AC
equipment.
2-The MEP,fire protection,structural engineer,civil reports are not part of this report and are the
Owner's responsibility.
3-We recommend updating or add building/unit numbers to the entry doors.
4-Verify or extending the internal guard rails at top floor at 42"high(these are pre-existing conditions).
5-Adjust as required unit doors self-closing hinges to enable doors to close.
6-Verify that drain pans under the mechanical and or washer/dryers in the units are properly installed.
7-Broken basement windows to be fixed.

increase the net clear door opening and prevent wall damage.
