To Whom It May Concern
I was out at the property at 117 Leach Street recently to do a framing
Inspection on the new roof installed due to the roof blowing off the structure
during a previous wind storm. While on site I was asked to inspect the porches
on the house to determine if they were structurally damaged from the same wind storm.
It is my opinion that the roof may have lifted and slammed down on the porches
causing some structural damage. I am requiring you to hire a third party engineer
to inspect the porches to determine the structural condition of the existing porches.
